PLEASE READ PRIOR TO PURCHASING:

This listing is for a tape sold as a blank. The content is a bonus. If you want me to erase this before shipping, please send me a message after
purchasing and I can erase the content. No rights are implied, transferred, or obtained by purchasing this tape. Again, you are purchasing a tape
as blank with free content as a bonus which can be erased (but only if you you request that after purchasing).

Please note USPS is becoming slow again. I'm frequently having packages take 4-5 days after being shipped, to be scanned via media mail. If you would
like USPS first class/priority, or another carrier, please let me know and I'll adjust the shipping cost. By purchasing an item and selecting media mail shipping,
you are confirming you understand your package could take up to two weeks to arrive to you.

I'm getting a lot of questions about these tapes so let me give some background. These tapes are from the collection of a relative whom recently passed away.
They collected these tapes for years. Some were made directly off the radio by himself, and others were received from other collectors around the world. I am
assisting the family with liquidating the collection in order to free up the space so we can stop paying the storage fees (which keep increasing). These have been in climate controlled storage.

Also; please note that some of these tapes are over 50 years old and there should be an expectation of wear from storage/handling through the years, especially to the outer boxes/cases. Additionally, please remember that these are privately made recordings; either off FM radio, or other means, and should not be measured up against officially released material in terms of quality (although many of them are excellent).
Please look closely at the photos provided and ask questions prior to purchasing. Due to the nature of these items (like software, they can be copied), I am unable to offer returns.
Any tape listed has been played by myself prior to listing. Tapes exhibiting issues such as SSS, mold, etc, are not listed; which thankfully haven't been many. Note that not all have leader, attached. My splicing skills are not the best so I'll leave that to the experts. I have confirmed prior to listing that any of these without leader typically have several seconds to a minute
of blank space prior to the content starting, on the tape.
