Re: Reel-to-reel tips and/or advice
What about the qty 20 x 766 Ampex reels that also came with the deck? Might they also be bad?

I wonder if Ampex would make good on it, as a token of good will. ampex.com

As a matter of interest, Ampex left the home recording business, mid 1984.

Ampex became Quantegy. SSS was an issue for some of them too. There was a site that I can not find right now that actually listed tape stock with SSS right down to batch numbers and dates going back to the 1950's or earlier. It might have been on the Tapeheads forum.

This was one of the better reel to reels of the mid 60s.
