Bad Tapes. 1 bit of info...

There was a report on a NYC audiotape archive just now.
Mentioned was a common problem of tape flaking and one
last ditch solution was to bake the tape in a convection oven
for 24 hours, presumably to re-seat the oxide into the plastic.

Sounds like the temperature has to be exactly right.

FYI, John A.
