I love the sound of ATR's but in my experience the guides will gum up quicker than something like an 820. For that reason, and also the gentler tape handling in general, I prefer to use an 820 when playing back older tapes. Dave |

Not everything over 10 years old should go straight into an oven. |

My general rule is, anything 10 years old or older goes straight into the oven, then carefully test, best on an 820, but usually okay on an ATR, after baking. bab |

This has been covered many times. It's a bad idea to bake Agfa tape. Richard Hess had done extensive research into tape issues. http://richardhess.com/notes/formats/magnetic-media/magnetic -tapes/analog-audio/degrading-tapes GR |

... He cautions against baking Agfa tapes as a matter of course. Much as I do regarding any tape. I must agree with Mark that I've never seen a roll of Agfa 469 that didn't need baking. That stuff shed brand new out of the box! We've had better luck with Agfa 468. About a 50-50 chance it won't need baking. |
