Memorex? If they are mid-80's tapes, the binder has become sticky. There is nothing you can do other than dehydrating them by baking with a lot of airflow. I have read thousands of tapes, and sticky shed is a serious problem with tapes from the early to mid 80's. Memorex MRX4 red and gray label is the worst. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
