Didn’t realise Wayne had shaved his beard off. Not sure about the new hairstyle though. Is it a Villa thing?

Reel conniption Pt 1
Does anyone here have a deck that takes 5" reels?
I’ve been having a tidy up and found 2x BASF TP18 1800ft (90mins each direction @ 3.25ips/45 @ 7.5) and 1x BASF LP35 900ft (45mins ew @ 3.25/22.5.@ 7.5) NOS, sealed and in nice plastic flip open cases.
As I’m inheriting Mikes @MJ2 401 plinth, I’ll pay it forward, so they’re free if picked up at @Jim s bake off, or just for the postage at cost (if it turns out to be cheap to post, a donation to Prostate Cancer).
I’d have them & collect at Jim’s.

Neutron Bomb isn’t it?
Good to see she was buying pre recorded tapes. Obviously a lady of some discernment.
All yours Guy. I think I bought them with a view to spooling them onto some 10" reels, but couldn’t be arsed in the end. Nice tape apparently, no SSS with BASF either.

Why is that R2R deck about to fall off the shelf?
Because of '70s rock God insouciance reasons.

Looking forward to this one.
7.5 ips, Contemporary Records & I always like everything Shelly Manne is involved in. Sounds good enough on Spotify!

Another round of cleaning the tape guides and capstan on the Technics. Getting the crud off, albeit very slowly.
What are you using Wayne? IPA, Acetone? This stuff is good on rubber parts: https://www.officestationery.co.uk/product/af-platenclene-print-roller-cleaner-and-restorer-100ml-pcl100-AFI50079/?showVat=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA37HhBRC8ARIsAPWoO0w3iJS-_mUxUMN7WYPHsNqcc1P1hYSC4weIZ2Sdd5wq1-h3TaaQsYYaAmqwEALw_wcB
Its the metal tension rollers and capstan which have the most heavy deposits. I’ve given them a go with IPA, and again today with D5 Deoxit.
