Re: [ARSCLIST] squealing cassette tapes

In my experience, it is the friction between the felt pressure pad and the
back of the tape which generates the noise. Hence lubricating the felt pad
(with Teflon?) may be a solution.

Hi, Marie,

You dripped on the "pancakes" inside the cassette housing? That was enough
ISO to do the trick? Wouldn't it evaporate before you're finished?

I apply the LAST factory stuff with a foam swab in a modified-for-stuff
Tandberg TP-101 in fast wind mode.
