Well i would say wow and flutter is a property of the device playing the tape, not of the tape itself

Crappy old tape and a warped shell can cause wow and flutter too if the tape is sticking or the reels are binding.
Wonder if there would be a preset called "I left the tape on the dashboard too long last summer"
The tape is driven by rollers directly, the reels only pick up the slack.
What about device recording the tape though
