The amount can vary based on tape condition and cassette quality. For best results, I recommend performing a full rewind and fast-forward on older tapes before playing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContact us\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeel free to contact me anytime through eBay messages if you have any questions, comments, or requests.
