Hey, does anyone here still have a use for open reel audio tape? If not some form of actual analog art recording, maybe some kind of sculptural thing, or a hipster method for tying up git packages… or something…
I’m clearing out some storage and I’ve got 28 7” reels. 17 un-opened boxes of Scotch 250 (1200 ft.) and 11 boxes of lightly-used Maxell UD 35-90 [1800 ft.]. The storage area wasn’t climate controlled :-( but all the tapes were in plastic bags inside the paper boxes, so I’m guessing they’re OK. (I no longer have a working reel-to-reel deck, so I can’t check their actual condition.) Anyway, rather than just chuck them out, I thought I should offer them them here - FOR FREE, of course as long as you’re in the SF Bay Area and can come get them in Daly City (contact free, naturally). I’d also be willing to ship them elsewhere for for cost, but that might be more than they’re worth, unless you have a special need… [mass-producing tape-bow violins? thumb-on-capstan phase-shifting on 20 decks simultaneously in real time???] If you know anyone not-on-this-list who might want the tape do let them know… Contact me off list. Thanks. PS: Oh yeah, if anyone in the Bay Area has a working reel-to-reel deck I could borrow the use of, I have a few of my own old tapes I’d like to dub to digital [which I can’t afford to pay a professional service to do…] A few hours worth at most. Again, contact me off list… _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
