Elcaset problem
I intend to move some old elcaset-recordings to CD. Some of the casettes
work fine, but others (including some which were never used) are reluctant to rotate and make lots of mechanical noise. The problem is similar with two recently serviced EL-5 players. I have already tried to wind and rewind the tapes, hoping they would become looser. The casettes have been untouched for a long time. Is this kind of problem typical for elcaset and is there some easy way to fix it? What would be a good newsgroup or forum to ask this kind of question? Regards Jari Jokinen |

After a while the tape begins to physically deteriorate. Sometimes it becomes "sticky", literally sticking to heads and itself while you attempt to play the tape. The shell could also be distorted, or the tape pack may have jammed due to having been dropped or poorly wound. Winding is a good first try. If the tapes were stored poorly, there may be mold. Inspect the problem cassettes very carefully. You may be able to see the problem and respond appropriately. If the shell is distorted, remove the tape and put it into a good shell. The casettes have been untouched for a long time. Is this kind of problem typical for elcaset and is there some easy way to fix it? There may be a few respondents who will suggest that you gently bake the cassettes. It sounds like an interesting technique, but I've never tried it. I do suggest that you make sure the tape pack is perfectly wound before you subject it to any temperature extremes. If the tape pack is not perfect, you'll cause edge damage. (if a small edge sticks up, as the pack expands the edge will be slightly folded and a permenant crease will be the result) What would be a good newsgroup or forum to ask this kind of question? This is a good place. ----------------------------------------------------------- spam: wordgame:123(abc):14 9 20 5 2 9 18 4 at 22 15 9 3 5 14 5 20 dot 3 15 13 (Barry Mann) [sorry about the puzzle, spammers are ruining my mailbox] ----------------------------------------------------------- |

Elcaset problem
Thanks. What is mold? English is not my first language. The tapes look fine.
On one unused casette the shell was indeed distorted. The repairsman got it to work by taking something away from inside the casette - I will open it to see, how it was done. I have another problem with the casettes. Two of them have sound only on left channel. This is on both A and B sides. Such was never noticed some twenty years ago... It is very strange, but happens on both EL-5 players. Jari Jokinen "Barry Mann" kirjoitti nic.com...

This may be tediuos, but possible if the recording is valuable and the elacset is damaged in some way. What would be a good newsgroup or forum to ask this kind of question? rec.audio.tech is fine.

Yes, playing them with a R- to R player should be possible. I found this
site, which makes audio restoration: http://www.maltedmedia.com/mmrestoration.html They say "Elcaset (requires removal of tape from cassette)." I may find such service in Finland too. First I will try something easier. Jari Jokinen "Per Stromgren" kirjoitti om... Elcaset (was it spelled that way?) were 1/4" fourtrack 9.5 cm/s, were they not?

Elcaset problem
I have SLH (Type-I) and FeCr (Type-II) elcasettes. Does anyone know, if baking will work with them? Jari Jokinen Unlikely that they need baking. I have never seen Japanese tape that required it. Ampex and 3M on the other hand may require cuch treatment. Richard H. Kuschel "I canna change the law of physics."-----Scotty |

Elcaset problem
(Barry Mann) wrties: Inspect the problem cassettes very carefully. You may be able to see the problem and respond appropriately. If the shell is distorted, remove the tape and put it into a good shell. On a related note-- Radio Shack used to sell empty cassette shells held together with screws, for rescuing the tape from cassettes that had jammed. Does anyone still sell these? I have some old casettes that haven't been transferred to CD yet, and it might be prudent to have a couple of these in reserve, if they're still available. [Google search for "empty cassette shell" didn't turn up anything] [Yes, I know the difference between Compact Cassette and Elcaset, but they both use tape...] The correct term is C-0 (CZero) Available from people who custom load tapes. Probably the easiest is to get a 5 screw cassette and sacrifice the tape inside. Richard H. Kuschel "I canna change the law of physics."-----Scotty |

I don't remember if an Elcaset shell can be unloaded, but I was suggesting that the tape be transferred from the bad shell to a known good shell. (Use a shell from an Elcaset that has already been spooled to CD) In concept, an Elcaset tape could be transferred to a reel-to-reel machine and played there. However, I don't recall if Elcaset used the same equalization as reel-to-reel. If necessary, it is not a big deal to adjust the equalization before burning the CD. ----------------------------------------------------------- spam: wordgame:123(abc):14 9 20 5 2 9 18 4 at 22 15 9 3 5 14 5 20 dot 3 15 13 (Barry Mann) [sorry about the puzzle, spammers are ruining my mailbox] ----------------------------------------------------------- |
