HISTORY:

My "world" is 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.

I ran an audio post production facility for many years and our world was analog tape (all sizes) shellac, vinyl and even 1940's cardboard records from WWII!

I am working through an amount of 1/4" magnetic audio tape which has been well looked after (temperature controlled environment in the dark!) and now it is time to find new owners for this gear.

At this stage, most of the tape is 1/4" up to 7 inch reel size and a wide range of manufacturers

This MAXELL audio recording tape is BRAND NEW, FACTORY SEALED Excess stock which is no longer required (not much I can do when ALL my Studer & Revox machines have "left home" and I am out of the audio business, professionally, these days - time for these to find a new home.

MAXELL UD 35-90 is well known for their great tape recording media, suitable for all and perhaps most important of all is the fact that these tapes from MAXELL are NOT known for their tape shed issues, unlike many other tapes. If you would like to read other users opinions about MAXELL UD 35-90 tape, take a look at THIS FORUM (very knowledgeable professional folks on all matters to do with magnetic tape and machines)

Never heard of tape shedding? It is an absolute nightmare for the R2R professional or enthusiast because not only will the tape run very noisily, it deposits masses of oxide on the heads and transport path - Urghhh, a big cleanup job is often required if a tape has shed when being played.

HERE is some more detailed information about the dreaded tape shedding issue

So here we go ...
