[78-L] question on tape baking

[Ron L'Herault]

I had a squealing cassette that I rescued by placing it in a dessicator
cabinet here at work.  You could do the same thing at home with fresh or
rejuvenated silica gel packets and a sealed bottle or plastic container.
The goal is to get rid of water.  The gel absorbs it from the tape surface,
whereas heating drives it off to the atmosphere.  The result is the same.

Oh & did you know that cassettes from the 80's squeal on playback? 
I've thrown several sermon tapes away because they started squealing.....
