Schnuff: Are those tapes self-recorded? But than, music isn't that critical, missing only part of a second on a data-tape is.
For high professional storage they said the safety is about 10 - 15 years if stored correctly.
10 years ago i was shocked discovering my first self-burned CD destroyed.
But this auction....i don't think its about playing the game but than someone spending over $ 3K can effort a professional rescue.
Mostly so, as far as I know. Music recorded from the radio way back, that sort of thing. ( Music piracy, oh noes. ) Wasn't talking about the later cassette style tape, either; these are the oversized old-school tape wheels.
