I've been cursing my way through a load of DC300XL/DC600A carts
written a bit over 20 years ago. They're mixed "Scotch" brand (blue
logo) and "3M" (red logo).
The "Scotch" ones have been an unmitigated nightmare. Binder bleed
visible between wraps on each reel (white gloppy deposits), flaking
of the binder (the tension band has great chunks of oxide firmly
laminated to it). Really awful news and prety much a total loss.
The "3M" brand are largely recoverable, with a few missing block
errors.
Does this match everyone else's experience with these two brands?
Cheers,
Chuck
