[QUOTE="jdza, post: 79215"] Do be carefull with sticky tape. It can really cause havoc.It is especially prevalent on Ampex tapes from the '70s. They need to be baked overnight (yep in an oven) everytime before use.Also be careful of fungus,especially on tapes that spent time in a basement.This gets transferred to a machine and then to healthy tape. Archivists usually have a seperate machine for "fungus tapes" Google "Sticky shed syndrome" for more on sticky tapes. [/QUOTE]
