[Dixielandjazz] Tape problem

[Ron L'Herault]

If, in addition to squealing, the oxide layer seems to be building up on
the heads rapidly, you may not just need lubricant, or you may not need
it at all.  These tapes need to be baked at no more than 120 deg. F to
drive off the moisture and relink some of the binder.  They should play
OK for a few days after that.  Don't wait too long though.

If you get a better solution, let me know.  I had this problem just last
week with some priceless masters from the early 1970s.  Dick B
