I was hoping that someone can tell me if the following statement is true or incorrect:
A colleague was telling me that you can tell the difference between an audiotape that was recorded on an acetate tape, versus one that was created on a polyester base, by holding the tape up to a light source. The colleague went on to say that light will pass thru the acetate tape, whereas it will not pass thru polyester tape.
She knows of what she speaks. Hold the reel up to light, you should see light through the edges on an acetate tape.
