Even many of the half-inch open reel works can be transferred. With the open reel works, it may take multiple cleanings or occasionally special techniques like baking. Often, the problems arise from original errors in recording - bad tracking, sync problems, threading issues and the like. They are problems which exist on the original recordings.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 22, 2015 at 9:03 PM, Timothy Conway Murray <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tcm1@cornell.edu" target="_blank">tcm1@cornell.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">----------empyre- soft-skinned space----------------------<br>
