It depends on which machine you are using. On my machine it is easy. I have a Teac A-4010S. I just got it yesterday, but I put the full reel on the left, and the empty reel on the right. I let the tape hang down loosely below the heads and pulleys and such. then i use my index finger to thread the tape from left to right, first Under the tension arm, then over the auto reverse foil sensor arm, then under the heads, then between the capstan and pinch roller, then under the auto shut off lever. that's it
There are erasers specific to this task. Because the tapes are very suseptible to magnetic sources, I had a small eraser (about 6" x 8") with a pin in the corner. You simple placed the reel on the pin, held the button down that turned on the magnets and gave the reel a few spins by hand.
Using a demagnetizing wand, bring the tip close to all the metal parts that touchy the tape in a slow, sweeping motion. Then bring the tip slowly away for a distance of several feet before switching off.
To erase the tape you must rewind back and then record over the previous recording.

Hi, Open reel tapes are equivelent to tapes like used on the older reel to reel tape recorders. They used to have open reel tapes for audio and video recorders. Many are still in use today. Open reel tapes had to be hand threaded through the tape transport whereas a cassette tape is self contained and the transport handles all the unloading and loading functions. Hope this helps, Cubby

Before Floppy disks were available, people still transferred data. It used to be with help of punch cards, reel to reel tapes, and cassette tapes. The early home computers used cassette tapes.

Find someone that has a reel to reel deck and a CD recorder. Some computers have a CD Burner and external audio inputs. Stand alone CD Burners are available for purchase now. Check your phone book, small studios will do this kind of transfer for a fee.
8-track tapes have one reel . . . that is why they can keep on playing without having to turn them over.
1973! That the cassette by itself but the cassette player came out in 1980 Nope. This cannot be correct, because I owned a cassette player and plenty of cassettes for it too, at least 3 years before that (when I was in Vietnam). And they were not a new technology when I bought mine. I also owned an 8-track tape player with tapes. I always wanted a reel-to-rell because they were supposed t be the best of all. But I never got around to getting one.
To erase an Ultrium tape you will need to use a specialist eraser or degausser. However once erased or degaussed the tape cannot be reused because prewritten signals will be removed. See related links for a manufacturers information regarding degaussers for Ultrium tapes: http://www.veritysystems.com/degaussers/erase-lto.asp
