Revox Tape Differences

Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

Hello all.
I was given about 30 10.5" Revox tapes. Some are black reels, some are gray. Does anyone know if one is older than the other? Is one higher quality? The black reels seem to run perfectly, no squeal, flutter, degrading Mylar, etc... The grays are hit and miss. Didn't know if this is coincidental or is in fact a reason.
