Someone gave me several pre-rerecorded RTR tapes that have been stored badly, smelly and mold. What to do? I was told to toss them by she who must be obeyed, but want to try to salvage them.. Left outside in the sun for a couple of days, but that didn't help. Maybe I should put some clorox in a pyrex dish, suspend the tape it and cover with a large carton for a few hours, days, etc. ? While the fumes might not affect either old acetate or mylar, what about the tape metal particles ?
Any other suggestions ?
tnx.
