Tape Recovery FAQs
What kinds of tapes can you assess?
Recovery options depend on the tape format and its condition. Share the format if you know it, along with any labels or playback issues. If you’re unsure what type of tape you have, describe its size and appearance.
Can you recover a tape that will not play?
A tape that will not play may still be assessable, but recovery depends on the cause and extent of the problem. Avoid repeated playback attempts, which could worsen some issues, and describe what happens when you try.
What should I do before sending a tape?
Keep the tape in its case and store it somewhere cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight. Don’t open the cassette or attempt repairs. Contact us first with the format and a brief description of the issue.
Can every tape be recovered?
No recovery service can guarantee that every tape’s contents are recoverable. Results depend on factors such as format, storage history, and physical or magnetic damage. An assessment can help clarify the available options for your tape.
What information should I share when I contact you?
Tell us the tape format if known, whether it has been stored or played recently, and what you hope to recover. Mention any visible damage or unusual sounds, and include your Wilmington-area location if relevant.
