Hi, Eric,

I had a great success at the suggestion of Friedrich Karl Engel to used
a closed container with water in the bottom and the tape suspended
above. In 24 hours, a late-1930s Carbonyl Iron tape went from being like
a carpenter's tape measure to a satin ribbon.

This technique did not work well with a tape that spent two Vermont
winters behind a wood stove. Part of the problem with that tape was
edge-melt, however.

Cheers,

Richard

Quality tape transfers -- even from hard-to-play tapes.
