Re: [ARSCLIST] Scotch Master 90 Cassette sticking

[Tim Brooks <tbroo@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all who gave advice on this (I get the digest so I haven't seen 
messages sent today yet).

Moving the tape to a new shell did the trick. I did this for three Scotch 
90s that were sticking, moving the tape?to three different brands of 
shell--Maxell, TDK and Fuji?(all of which have rotating guide wheels)--and 
all seemed to play the older tape just fine, even though they are constructed 
somewhat differently. 


?


As an experiment I put the tape from one of the new shells into one of the 
"bad" Scotch 90 shells, and that seemed to work too! I assume that the shell is 
the basic problem however and that it's best not to use this for fresh 
recording.

The next challenge will be to move all these cassettes to digital, which I 
dread. (They are for listening, not preservation)
