Tape erasing?

[Dude111]

The best way to erase them i have found is too swipe a magnet over the whole unit 10 or more times..... (EVERYTHING SHOULD BE GONE) Then you can record on them again

I do this from time to time if i wanna clear a tape.....

Good luck!

Which Radio Shack erasure will do metal tapes if any of them do? Is there a catalog number for one?

None do a perfect job on metal tapes. Although their video-tape eraser was stronger than their audio tape eraser.

I used to have a bulk tape erasser for 10.5" reels of tape. That is to say the whole reel would fit on the platten. That thing pulled 15 amps!-No Lie- When that machine was energised you could not pick the tape up or even turn it. If you had it on, it would rip the tape out of your hand at about 3 inches over the platten. Needless to say you placed the tape on the platten before you turned the power switch on. I sure wish I still had that. I now am using a smaller unit that came from Lafayette Electronics many years ago. It works fine and is about 70 pounds lighter.

only other thing to is buy a POS deck that can handle metal position tapes for $15 and use that as your erase deck. Heck buy 2 and erase 2 tapes at once.
