List:
I've got a 2400' reel of 9-track tape here from 1971--so far, no issues.
But the brand is "Wabash"--I'm well acquainted with the execrable
quality of the brand when it comes to floppies, but have no experience
with pre-floppy-era tapes.
I'll bake the thing (130F for a day or so) before reading it, but does
anyone have any experience with this brand and age? I'd used mostly 3M,
CDC and IBM branded tape back in the day.
