Funny, I have some analog 1/4" open reel tapes from the 1950s that play beautifully, but I have some DATs that are only a year or so old that won't play at all. I do have some open reel tapes however from the "dark era" of the 1970s/80s that had their oxide coating turn to goo. Push the play button and the tape just stands there, not moving because of all the friction. Baking them in an oven will give one play....maybe....
