These should work and preserve as well as any other reel to reel tapes. One minor matter is that, pefore playing, I advise running the tape back and forth to discharge print-thru that may have accumulated by transfer in storage. It's generally to late for this to work on recordings made at too great a level to begin with. That print-thru you're stuck with.
