Re: [ARSCLIST] Fwd: Sticky AGFA PEM 469
From IASA TC-04, "Guidelines on the Production and Preservation of
Digital Audio Objects" section 5.4.3.7 which covers tape baking to
overcome SSS:
"A microwave oven should never be used as it heats small parts of the
tape to very high temperature and may damage the tape and its magnetic
characteristics."

The only time I ever saw a microwave recommended for this purpose was in
the
pro audio forum on CompuServe almost 20 years ago. My distinct
recollection
is that the person who made this suggestion was from Australia. Glenn
Meadows moderated the forum, and perhaps he recalls the thread - but the
person who endorsed using a microwave oven gave no further explanation.
