Care and use of cassettes

[devol-toni]

Its time for this section to put some basic guidelines regarding care and use of the cassettes.

I recently found on flea prerecorded cassette with Petula Clark album "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" released in 1966, in my year of birth.

And guess what is written inside

Please, for all the members, follow these instructions.

Great find. But im not removing the reel tapes from my boomers in any cost . Boombox displayed without a cassette inside is somehow unfinished .

Someone told me recently to alway rewind your tape to the start as it tends to warp at the exposed part if left like that for years. If it is at the beginning ... you don't hear any warping.

Also I hear not to store cassettes underwater.
