Are you suffering from sticky shred syndrome ?

Are your Ampex reels sluggish when playing and rewinding?
Do you find a black residue on the tape heads and guides?
If the answer is yes...
then your tapes have "Sticky shred syndrome"
Over time the tape's backing has absorbed moisture !
The only cure is to bake them,

Quarter Inch tape- 7 Inch Reels and quarter Inch tape- 10 Inch Reels cost £5.00 per tape,

Cost of return postage will vary depending on weight,
You must use recorded delivery,And if necessary insure parcels,

Please check prices for parcel delivery with the post office or other carriers.

Average Baking time takes about 24 hours,
In some cases if the tape is badly contaminated it can take 3 days,
If possible You should backup your tapes to another medium as soon as possible on receipt of baked tapes,
note that the baking process is not permanent, and the tape will start to absorbe moisture again.
