Is this gear able to bake 10.5" reels with 2" multitrack tape on them?

Hi, Mal,
Yes, it will bake 10.5" reels, but not 14" reels.
For 2" multitrack, I'd order two sets of the rings I described in the
original post. Each reel will require one original tray and should
work with two of the Convert-A-Tray rings with their trays removed.
The FD-60 that I got is a bit less accurately calibrated than my
FD-50 and the temp is about 5C higher than indicated on the
thermostat, but it still held within +/- 1C for three hours--and that
was with nothing in it.
All-in-all, these are reasonable quality units that solve the
problem. Sure a lab oven is useful as Steve has shown, but
considering everything else, I think the temperature tolerance of
these food dehydrators is just fine.
Cheers,
Richard
