If you can store it in a stable environment without a lot of humidity, that would be good. When you do decide to crank it back up, clean the capstan well and go through the whole machine and check for oxidization. Nip that right away. Otherwise, it should be fine.

Hi all - I'm living in eastern Iowa and we're experiencing weather that's all over the map, coming off a heat wave in July that saw us in the upper '90s a lot.  It's cooler now, but we still having fairly high humidity, and I'm living in an attic without air conditioning.  Because of this, I've simply put my tape racks away in boxes and retired the Tron until the weather stabilizes somewhat - hopefully in September.  Is there anything else I should be doing, or am I over reacting?


Enquiring minds and all that horseshit...
