Cassette tapes!
This is an S&B question, but I figure you guys will know :B
I hooked up my S&B stereo for the first time in several years. Put in a cassette tape and it was promptly eaten. Put in another (foolish me). It played, but I noticed the timing was off, would slow and speed up a little. Then it was eaten.
I managed to find one album on cd, but for the other I had to buy another tape(!) on ebay. Problem is, I like obscure music.
Anyway, my question: Should I do something to try to fix cassette player? Should I use its second deck? Should I get another player at goodwill? Is the problem really that my tapes are from the 90s, do they degrade? I know nothing about these things, but I have a bunch of wonderful music on cassette that may not be replaceable, and anyway $$.
Thanks for any suggestions!
