I dunno, my 25 year old tapes are worbly as hell now. Vinyl records still play great though!
Have you tried playing them on different devices? There's an old Tech Moan video where he replaced the springs and rubber bands on an old warbly tape deck, and the warble-ing stopped. Your tape deck may just need a springy-bits refresh.
Ooh, I should try that! Thank you!
As long as you don’t leave them in the sun!
