Re: [ARSCLIST] S-S-S and tape baking

[Lou Judson <loujudson@xxxxxxx>]

Hmm, I find it a lot safer to bake all open reel tapes before playing 
or winding them - except for acetate of course. Saves possible loss of 
oxide and signal and messing up machines... and doesn't hurt the non 
sticky ones.

By the way, the previous post that mentioned 60C - isn't that 140 
degree Fahrentheit? I think 130 is a lot safer, 54.6 C or something 
like that. 140 is too hot for audio tapes, I believe...
