We provide high-quality transfers/copies
even from hard-to-play tapes.

If you wish to contact us about a current or potential tape restoration project, the following does not pertain to you! Please go to our main contact page (click here). Thanks!

Many people have called my toll-free number asking general questions about recording and audio, not about tape preservation and restoration. As an independent consultant, I must spend my time helping my current and potential clients. Although I'd love to offer gratis help to everyone in all aspects of recording, I unfortunately cannot afford the time that would require.

The answers to general questions about audio and recording may already be on my web site, however, so please check under:

Home | Tips & Notes | History | Formats & Resources | Facility
Broadcasting & Engineering pages | Photography pages

Both Restoration Tips & Notes and Media Formats & Resources have dedicated search engines.

Using my web site, here's another way to find answers to your audio questions: search the entire site by going to www.google.com and using their site-specific search feature. Here's a sample search you might do on Google. In the search window, you'd type

          site:www.richardhess.com 8-track cartridge

This search finds several pages on my site containing useful information about 8-track cartridges. If you typed only "8-track cartridge" without the "site:" info, Google would give you results from my web site along with thousands of other sites.

I may want to include your question and my answer in my website blog called Restoration Tips & Notes. Ask me to include your name and email address, because others who read the blog may also be able to help you. If I respond to you via Restoration Tips & Notes, I'll send you an email pointing to the answer. Click here to email me.

Thanks and enjoy my website!

Richard
