Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. A client with an ongoing project asked us to save this audio cassette (repair and transfer). It was received mangled with the broken ends hanging out and no pressure pad. The only straight-forward remedy was to open it up, repair the leader/splice and transpose the tape load to a temp. donor shell for the transfer. The results were excellent (stereo audio, DEVO era sound-a-like band). After transfer, put the tape back into the original shell for posterity.
Tape that thin takes patience and a plan.
