I'm handling some tapes from the late 60s-early 70s and came across a curious situation. There are many Scotch 701 and 777 tapes in the lot with "yellow" labels, but on the single 777 "blue label" tape, I've encountered binder bleed something fierce. Running a reel through the tape cleaner at low

Value of Burroughs B9974 disk pack
