I got literally a wheelbarrow full of old R/R tapes. Someone had tossed dirt & gravel on top of the open reels. They had been cut down from the wide old computer tapes to fit R/R machines.
There were mass recordings from Leila Richter, a "Channel" from the "Other Side" on them. Dating, I think back into the 60's.
I cleaned a lot of the tapes, but the oxide was falling off a lot of them & clogging my machine up. I think I finally tossed the lot. They were interesting though, even if one believes or not about the readings. ( She was sort of a "J.Z. Knight" type lady in her later years. And yes, I have driven by J.Z.Knights compound numerous times.)
