- The cheapest I have found 3M tapes for is from Dartek. The DC6150
- is $24.95 in 1-4 quantities. They have an 800 number so call 800
- directory assistance to get it as I dont have it here.
-
- I was able to get the Sony tapes , 6150`s, to write a full tape but
- I have problems on reads. I have to clean the head after *every*
- tape!! Then I have no problems. When I use 3M's I can follow the
- manufacturers spec and clean the head every 8 hours of use and
- everything is fine.
