Description
This listing is for a lot of 11 cardboard boxes for 7 inch reel to reel tapes with reels and tape included.There is also 1 empty box (the Supertape box in the lower left of the group shot)
The boxes all show signs of wear but are still usable.
There are:
4 2400ft Super tape boxes (1 is empty)
2 3600ft Super tape boxes
4 2400ft Ampex 351 tape boxes
1 Sony PR-150 box
1 Generic box
The tapes were mostly recorded from the radio or LP's on a well worn Sony TC-630 so the sound quality isn't generally that great but the poor audio quality doesn't necessarily mean the tapes themselves are in poor condition.
The tapes were purchased probably from the 1970's up to the early l980's.
I don't know what the lifespan of a tape is so I don't know if they are still usable for recording or not.
This listing is mostly for the tape reels and cases. If the tapes can still be recorded on, that is a bonus!
THE TAPES ARE BEING SOLD AS-IS. I MAKE NO CLAIMS WHETHER THEY ARE USABLE FOR NEW RECORDINGS.
The condition of the tape itself seems OK. The first foot or so of some of the tapes is beat up but that can just be trimmed.
The brand name on the box probably doesn't indicate the brand name of the reel or of the tape that they hold.
