Tapes tested on recordings and re-recordings and these were of excellent quality. The tape is in very good, near mint condition. The photos speak for themselves. Mind you, these are 22 cm reels, so they do not fit on 18 cm recorders, but they do on larger sizes. If you are only concerned with the tape and you have empty reels, then you can transfer the tape to other reels with a tape paste set and run up tapes. The total weight stays below 10 kg. Everything will be packaged well and sent by registered mail.
