Free to good home. I have four unused 10" pancake reels of 1/4" open reel tape you can have, but may not want. These tapes are unused but not new. I got them as part of an estate find. After running one reels worth through three different open reel decks, I experienced the following: fast forward and rewind ran slow (I thought it was trouble with the first deck until trying the tape on two others)-the tape seems to "stick". Residue was left by the tape on all machines.
I did manage a recording or two on my Teac and it sounded very good.
On of the pancakes has been spooled onto a 10" plastic NAB reel, the other three are still in the original packaging. I do not know the brand or formulation of the tape. I am not interested in trying to find a fix for the residue and stickiness, if there is one.
I'll hold onto these until the end of the month in case anyone is interested, otherwise, it all goes into the trash.
