[ARSCLIST] Fwd: Sticky AGFA PEM 469 (8)

[Tommy Sjöberg <tommy.sjoberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
while working on Swedish Universal Music's 
archived material we often came across sticky 
PEM469. As I recall they requred much longer 
baking times, up to 24 hours, but always came out 
playable. Do not increase the temps from what you 
ordinary bake at, just double or triple the time 
from what you use for e.g. Ampex. IIRC the sticky 
residue from the PEM469 was clear and gummier 
than the residue from Ampex tapes, which was 
black or brown. Oh, and we only did 1/4" and 1/2" 
tapes. Hope this helps.

Tommy
