Hi, Shai, This is an interesting question. Yes, the Naks work well most of the time with C-120s, but I am seeing/being asked about enough oddball cassettes with issues that I think I need something else. I'm looking for something that will expose the head/tape interface during repro. The things I am seeing are: (a) Tapes that were recorded stretched (width ~ 100 mil vs 150 mil standard) (b) Tapes that wind into a cone and jam in the shell due to differential stretching (c) Tapes that have folds in them that people would like me to try and recover from I've had success with 1/2-inch and 1-inch acetate 4- and 8-track tapes that were horrific with a hand-held velour pressure pad which was very effective. I turned down cassettes in (c) because I didn't have an out-of-shell playback system. I am also evaluating a more compact and cost-effective approach: the Sony APR-5000QC <smile>. I have a few spares of those around <smile>. Cheers, Richard On 2012-06-25 4:11 AM, Shai Drori wrote: > Isn't it only for QC of pancakes? Sounds like too much trouble and > risk.
