I have had aging issues with the Ampex 456. After about 12 years + the tapes tend to shade the oxide and stick. I have BASF tapes that are 40+ years old no problems and Maxell and TDK that are 30+ year pod no issues.

You want fresh stock. do a search on google with the exact model # and a few professioanl audio dealers may also pop up.
