Re: [ARSCLIST] Shamrock 031 and Soft Binder Syndrome (Squeal)

Thanks, David!

Think I'll go into head assembly mode soon so I can try these %$#@ 
quarter-track mono 3.75 in/s Shamrock 031 tapes in the fridge. I've 
got one soaking there now.

I recall some of this stuff and/or Radio Shack SuperTape from the 
late 60s clogging heads and squealing when new.

Cheers,

Richard
