About that gummy tape. I had a reel and mounted it and ran it, and
thought folks might be interested in what it does.

On the left is the capstan and pinch roller, covered in gunk from the
tape oxide right after the tape started to hit. The white on the first
head is mildew buildup. On the guide is a chunk of oxide sticking out to
the left; the rest came off in a sticky blob onto the tape itself. THe
next head shows the gummy oxide buildup. The lifter on the right also
has buildup. Flakes of mildew are everywhere. (The white line, though,
is a cat hair.)
How long? A 5-minute play followed by a 60-second rewind.
