be able to remove the top flange in order to vacuum the tape pack before
further handling, but I've run into corrosion causing screws to be

Whatever you do, DO NOT wind it on an AVR-1 or AVR-3. The loose
pack will confuse the vacuum tensioners in the AVR-1 or the mechanical
tensioners in the AVR-3, which could result in tape damage.<BR>>>
Wind the tape SLOWLY on a good ol' VR-2000 or VR-1200. An AVR-2
would probably be OK too. After completely winding the tape in one
direction, remove the tape from the original reel and clean the empty reel
thoroughly with the vacuum cleaner. Wipe the reel with a slightly damp
cloth both inside and out (NOT paper towel; that would leave paper debris),
let dry, then wind the tape back onto the reel again.<BR>>> <BR>>>
