Plus he’s a cool guy, and the project was chill.
Please pardon the mispellings and occassional insane word substitution I'm on an iPhone

He reported that with the tape machine at normal room temperature, overnight in the freezer would only allow squeal-free playback for about 1/4 of a reel. When the tape machine was left outside for several hours before starting playback, he could play a whole reel. Fortunately he lives in Pennsylvania, where mid-winter temperatures below freezing are common.
