Many thanks for the heads-up, Tim.

I wouldn't have known about it otherwise, but it seems I am now the proud owner of this Winnebago tape!

Does anyone have any idea how many of them there are? (I'm assuming the answer to that is no.)

I thought the price very reasonable too! Due to present economic circs I wasn't going to go a whole lot higher, but I also wasn't expecting to get it!

:mexican:

Btw, any of you with rare tapes out there. I recommend that you fast forward & rewind them at least once every ten years, even if you don't ever play them. This should help to prevent 'imprinting' or sticking.

I'll put that on my list, along with rotating my wine bottles every three months and replacing my smoke detector batteries every year!

I have about twenty cassettes, some classical and unusual or oddball things, and don't know how good they are. A few years ago I tried a few and one or two were distorted, I assumed from the tape either physically stretching or shrinking while stored. It may have been print-through though.

I've got one small seldom used bookshelf stereo with a built in cassette player. I was almost considering giving it away but decided I should hang on to it in case I for some reason need to play a cassette.

One should of course always fast forward and then rewind the whole tape

a) before playing after being in storage

and

b) before putting away after playing!

I just learned a little lesson on tape preservation. I didn't know that.
Might I suggest that you all should seek out a new belt for your turntables? I have ignored mine for so long and now I am getting paranoid!
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.
