Raw Tape / Re: Unopened sticky & non-sticky tape wanted for research at the Library of Congress

Thanks Ironbut for the references, I will look them up. I also understood the purpose of the research, and was asking why the request is going out to citizens, when the Secret Service can expense the craziest things, and yes we pay for that too, with our tax dollars. That's all, maybe the question should just be to the point.

See the funny thing is that I might assist the "Tape Project", who records and shares, because they do not receive my tax money, but the government is already taking 1/3 of my wages.

If it is a project, then it should be properly funded by a budget, and include the few tapes this scientist is asking for our help to obtain with public dollars.

thanks so much Ironbut for assisting me in better understand the nature of the original request.
cheers, Zzeon

If the US government can bail out GM, Wall St., et al, then they can afford to ensure our precious works are preserved by paying for a little tape, esp, if it is expected that our tape will be subject to handling, a nightmare for a purist.

Thought for you, why not commit the US People's works to a digial archive, MGM Studios has done it with everything from movies, music, posters, scripts, and more.

You would actually provide jobs for real US citizens. It's not that I doubt you are who you say you are, but IMHO, your stretching it to ask us to fund the US government project.

Please protect our assets, create new jobs for Americans, it's like your begging on the street.
Thank God and our country for free speech.

Raw Tape / I have a friend that has a supply of Scotch 226 NOS tape

« on: June 20, 2012, 09:27:00 AM »

He does work for a lot of recording studios, he and I have both worked for Longview Farms, I was there during the Gil Markle days, he was there during the Jesse days, and still does work for them.

He has boxes, unopened cases really, of Scotch 226. This tape has never been recorded on, and he wants to let it go as he is moving into performing roles and away from piano maintenance/tuning.

Is there any interest in this tape, and what would be a fair value for it per reel, of course these are 10.5 inch reels.
Thanks,
Zzeon
