Excellent. The Star Wars tape should be there Monday.

Just received and tested the SW tape(s). They are also black and white EIAJ. The quality looks excellent - among the best I've ever seen for EIAJ. (that means roughly like good VHS, albeit black and white).

Unfortunately, it is Memorex tapestock, which means - unlike the Close Encounters tapes - these exhibit sticky shed. After about 10 seconds of playback, they ground to a halt. They will require a few hours of baking before they are playable. No biggie, I do it all the time and it generally works. And of course I have to clean the tape path of my machine now that they have gummed it up.

I'm going out of town until Sunday, so this will have to wait until next week. Once I know more, I'll start a new thread. Poita, think about what you'd like these called.
