Default Re - Archive of tapes - Reel to Reel and Cassette.

These are the rest of my father-in-law's tapes:
(a) an old EMItape with a plastic case - unfortunately the tape is long gone, but the case is similar in shape to the red leader tape packs (but larger, around a 5 inch spool)
(b) Scotch, I suspect not as old as Steve P's Scotch Boy, but the tape lineup still includes acetate, and the concept of triple play is just scarey!
(c) some of his pre-recorded tapes; I don't share his taste!
(d) the oldest Maxell I've seen, this is acetate tape

There's also a closeup of the Maxell - if you're not sure if you have acetate, this is what you look for when holding it up to the light.
