Got an enquiry today

“I have some Philips LDL Tapes. I see from your website you can recover them”

Yes, I have a working machine

“That’s excellent. You’re the only place I’ve found who can. How much?”

£75 per tape inc cleaning

“That’s ridiculous. Not paying that”

It’s a rare 1967 B&W deck🤷‍♂️
