Hoping to find some answers from the group about a problem I am facing. I'm digitizing a few hundred Nagra SN tapes. These are reel to reel tapes in the width of a cassette. There are three lengths, red, green, and blue reels, with blue being the thinnest and longest tape the red and green tapes play fine but the blue tapes are stuck so each layer is glued to the layer before it. When I try to play the tapes they squeal and the magnetic particles sometimes are removed from the base and stay stuck to the back of the layer before. These tapes are not black-coated and resemble really thin c-120 cassette material. Any suggestions are welcome.
