1530USB Datasette to PC Adapter / squeaking C64 tape or datassette
« on: February 22, 2022, 01:52:31 PM »
Hi
This is not an issue with my 1530USB
I am trying to image my tapes C64 tapes and some off them generate squeaks from the cassette player, play spin rate slows and sometimes the tapes even stop the tape player from turning. I believe this is a common issue with old tapes.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do?
Do the tapes need to be lubricated?
Left out in a warm room for a couple of days?
I have tried new belts and another tape drive.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
