The bottom photo seems to show dark char-like coloring on the bottom

and the dark spot on the housing indicate some sort of heat problem,
in which case all bets are off. The tape looks like it had a bad
life, so I'd put my money on it not being a common problem. Good you
were able to transfer part of it.
Good point, Tom, but I just added this to the article:
Note, in the above photo, the colour of the pancakes on the hubs
appear to shift colur. The oxide coating is probably dual layer and
the brown side attaches to the base film while the black side faces
the head. The colour shift in the photo is related to this and the
angle of the camera, I believe.
