Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

RE: Teac X10R reel drag.

First thing first - you need to eliminate the possibility of SSS - Sticky Shed Syndrome, that afflicts many older tapes. Your description sounds like it.

What tape are you using? Some are more prone to SSS than the others. There are tons of information on SSS on line, including the tapes that are most prone to it.

I would clean the transport, and then try different brand of tape - for instance the Maxell tapes usually are fine.

Or "even more better" - use some brand new tape.
