I hope that someone might have a solution for this problem. This morning I am having my intern copy oral history tapes to make service copies for research and to send off for transcription and while she was dubbing one of the tapes in the high speed dubbing machine it stopped. At that point the copy rewound but the original wouldn't budge. I pulled it out of the machine and tried to manually advance or reverse the tape but it is completely stuck as if all of the tape melted together at that one spot. The tape will rewind but it will not go past that one spot so half of the tape is usable and the other half is just stuck. Any suggestions on how to salvage this tape? Is it salvageable? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Christina J.
