i need old pyral magnetic tape specification
Hello world.
I got an old PYRAL magnetic tape, ref : CJ 50 SR 33. Please, do you know technical specification about this tape, or any internet site about the old Pyral products. I thank you a lot. Regards. Eric. |

I do not, because the Pyral tapes never got imported into the US. However, Pyral is still in business and they are still making magnetic film although they are out of the tape business. If you send me a reel, I can measure optimal bias and MOL, if that is what you want. Given the designation, I'd bet that was a red oxide tape for broadcast use, the sort you bias for a peak on a 1KC tone rather than use overbias method on. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

If you want to play it, you should take care in handling it, and check for brittle backing and shedding or sticky oxide. Nah, tape lasts for hundreds of years doesn't it Mike? TonyP. |

Not specifically, but there's a lot of generic information about tape
that could apply. What is it that you want to know and how do you plan to use the information? I am looking for datasheet as : http://users.pandora.be/audiomedia/i...tegy%20499.htm or : http://users.pandora.be/audiomedia/Zonal.htm to know what usage my tape was made for by the Pyral socity. |

Call Pyral and ask. If they don't have one, you can measure bias point and MOL and look at the color of the tape and make a pretty good guess whether it was a broadcast, mastering, or consumer tape. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

What do you feed 456 to make it last 100 years I wonder?
