Hello. Its in the video link: th-cam.com/video/2xrJuwVp8UI/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for your feedback, but sometimes the tape itself is the problem and "smack the tape" rewind etc does not help to improve sound quality on "old" tapes. This is proven to work. You should not lubricate with your main deck. The tape must dry. I have now multiple cassette tapes that sound much better after 3 months, even more. If you have a problem with wow and fluttering most of the time, it's the pinch roller. Cassette deck and cassette tapes problems are not the same.

It comes down to your own taste and keep rocking!

Always use another cassette player is recommended when doing this with pure cotton Q Tip that is not Oval. Drill is most likely too strong and not recommended. Always let the silicone dry properly before playing, and if it comes on tape head's, pinch roller or capstan. Just clean it with Isopropyl alcohol. Watch other videos i have about this process.

No. It's only proven to work with silicone.

Your cassette deck must support it. Always read your manual.

Thanks for your input. I will see if its worth the time with these cassettes. They are the only one with this issue.

Yes, agree totally ...

So nice to hear! Glad to be able to help!

Those are Magic Eraser and other is Blu Tak. See more here: th-cam.com/video/FN7zqwI0SRY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cWWsrp7ex-PiT7vY

:D

You said to press reverse - I expect you wanted to say rewind? Yes It's actually proven to work, and it's being used as a lubricant in almost all cassette tapes that you buy. Just get the Wet version, Not the dry version of Silicone spray. Silicone will leave a protective film after it dries. It can in some cases bring the tape back to its original state, and play much better with an improvement of sound quality! Thanks for your input!

Hello. There is actually slip sheets inside. All of the 4 cassettes that I own have same issue. Thanks for the feedback!

:D Some people still use it today 📼

:D

Great. I am still testing them so let's see how good they are. Share your experience with them, good or bad.

Its in the main Video :D th-cam.com/video/WJfcWRgqooI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t7-4_q0bjnZE7eWh

:D

Hi! You can use any brand of silicone spray as long it's the Wet version. Not the dry version, it can harm the tape instead. Good luck!

:D Keep on rocking

No, it will not ruin it, but it is important to lubricate the tape with silicone so it will be protected for a long time in the future and even against molds.

Their best album :D

Yes, its really a classic :D

Totally agree with you :D

One of the greatest! :D

All formats have their pros and cons :D

:D

:D Great info

Happy to share :D

Past future and present :D

Sorry. Commented before the end. Guess I'll find the answer to my first question in a few days!

Alcohol is only being used because of the tape is very moldy. Don't forget that after the molds are being removed, the silicone treatment will do its job. The cassette player is not recommended. It is only being used for treatments of cassette tapes and as a rewind of tapes. :D

One of the best albums :D

Never heard of them. Thanks :D

To be collected :D

:D

:D

The importance of holding a medium is actually a way to appreciate the artist. Streaming can't really accomplish that. :D

It's a good album :D

Very good song! Keep rocking :D

Well, all formats have their problems. Whatever you like, just stick with it. I just like the analog sound :D

It depends on the deck. How its constructed. If you play and record frequently, you may never have to do it. If you have a cassette player with only Play function then you really must demagnetize so you don't erase information on the tape every time you play. Keep those tapes rolling! :D

@@grips33com thanks. One more question....will it affect any other components ( CD player, receiver, etc.) above or below the deck when demagnetizing?

If you have a demagnetize cassette, just press Play after you off the amplifier...it can create a signal that can damage amp and also your speakers. So be sure amp is Off, before you start. If its a handheld device you must do like this: th-cam.com/video/jDznQ_6HDmc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1KQp_AMXscT3piuc

I'm sorry but you're giving the wrong instructions on this deck how to look at the dolby sign. It'positioned at - 2db at the meter and its corresponding to Dolby level is always 200 nWb/m. You say that the peaks are not allowed to go over this sign when recording but that has nothing to do with recording levels. The sign is only there as a calibration point for proper dolby levels. It's all in the service manual. The only thing you must watch out for is that you don't exceed the recommended recording levels for a specific tape.

Thanks for your input. And that is exactly what I am saying, and it's just a thumb rule to make recording easy with Dolby. Different modes of Dolby will give you other results on other decks. Different cassette tapes have different peak levels. You should always try to record and see what sound best to your ears. Keep on taping!

Yes, stay away from Crosleys, but if you are on a low budget a AT-LP60 will be fine.

@@simonarcher1510 Keep your vinyl spinning :D

Watch full video to see complete tutorial :D

Cool :D. Best to do the job with a cassette player. But be sure the drill does not spin to fast. Heard someone used just a Bic pen and did it manually. For sure it will take a long time...Anything goes if it works.

That is a perfect!

You must let the Silicone dry first. For me, best results will be after 4-5 days. If it will come on pinch-roller or heads, just clean it with Isopropyl alcohol.

@@grips33com interesting. Thanks. I just junked a tape that would fast forward and rewind, but bogged down and stopped when playing. It was an old Alan Parsons Project "Turn of a Friendly Card" cassette. Next time I'll give this a try.

It will work for sure. Just let it stand for a few days.

I've seen a hair dryer and dental pick method too. Have you tried it?

Heat will not lubricate the tape so its not an option. It can actually damage the tape in some cases instead.

If that works for you, Ok. But I prefer 📼

My pleasure 😊
