way, WAY back in the day, I used to have a reel-to-reel tape deck. My uncle 
gave me a box of his tapes, to convert to cassette ( ok, this was back in the 
80's..). The tapes where way older, from the 60's.. When I got them out of 
the box, the tapes were all red, and when I tried to play them, the tape 
literally slipped off the drive belt, the rust oxidation was complete...
