This is a brief example of some of my work that I do in my shop. This project was one of many tapes I was digitizing for a University Archive in 2019. This particular tape in the collection had been in a building that flooded and water had seeped inside the case and over the next several years afterwards became severely moldy and corroded and rusted metal parts. I worked on restoring this reel for about two and a half months to bring it back to a playable condition and digitize it. This video is only one little slice of the hours, days, weeks, months of time and effort involved, but you can get some idea of the nature of the work. It can be and usually is lengthy and time consuming work. I love a challenge!
