Request Tapes
Currently accepting requests.
I'm happy to copy and exchange tapes with fellow enthusiasts! Please read the guidelines below.
Guidelines
- I'm currently only shipping to the United States
- Allow 2-4 weeks for processing and shipping
- I prefer exchanging a comparable number of tapes instead of purchases. But if you don't have tapes to exchange, I accept a small fee to cover the cost of blanks and shipping (see charges below)
Costs
- Type I tapes: Free for Type I
- Type II tapes: $2 for Type II per tape (or free for exchanges)
- Type IV tapes: Not available
- Digital file: Free - I'll send audio files for you to record yourself
- Shipping: $5-$10 depending on location and tape quantity with USPS media mail or ground shipping. For exchanges we each cover our own costs.
- Payment Processing: I accept PayPal g+s for tape purchases to cover the cost of blanks and shipping. Don't send any money until I confirm your request! For exchanges, I prefer equivalent swaps with no additional payment on either side.
