[QuadList] DAK Tape (Was AMPEX VR-5100 WILL IT PLAY OTHER MACHINES TYPE.)

[Don Norwood]

Hi David:

Haven't seen any of those in a while!  Were they back-coated?  I seem to recall rumors of "re-purposed" computer tape.  But I have to say that the bread-maker I bought from them worked reasonably well.  Talk about diversity and marketing!!!!!!

  And speaking of DAK, these arrived just yesterday. Surprise: They played out of the box! Fencing competition on 1/2" EIAJ mono.

    Hi David:

    Unfortunately, Karex isn't limited to EIAJ!  And then there were also the (fortunately) rare tapes from DAK.

      EIAJ tape stock has not been as problematic for us being a later format but it can have it's challenges, especially when Karex is encountered.
