Hot and humid doesn't necessarily mean trouble if the
equipment was properly "acclimatized". But moving
quickly between cool/dry and hot/humid is what causes
condensation.

Are you sure what you saw was condensation and not some
other problem (like dirty/damaged tape path, etc.)?

Some of the specialty dubbing places might have rigged
a tape deck to run at a ~constant speed and ignore temporary
perburberances of the control track, but this might be a long-
shot? Sounds worse than any normal TBC can handle.
