Be very careful when reading them, they will shed and stick to the
rollers. You may need to bake the tapes. See this account:

Hi Rod,
Do you have any external TK 50 or TK 70 tape drives?
I'm working at an archive in Germany and we've got some TK-50 tapes
and we've been looking for some hardware to access them with.
Best,
Josh
