i have worked in tv, developing systems for archive restoration for many yea=
rs.

if you have valuable sticky tapes i suggest you try and contact a lical vide=
o archivist, there are other tricks than just baking that can help - old tap=
es can present complex problems.

<story>

 it was sent for analysis, and they discovered the stickiness was =E2=80=9Cv=
odka and coke=E2=80=9D :-).
