Default Re: Interesting things on old tape reels

I deliberately seek out interesting / unusual tape recordings. I've got a few now:
  • Off-air recordings of the audio portions of the party political broadcasts for the 1970 general election.
  • Hospital radio jingles.
  • The theme music for a UK shipping company.
The trouble is finding equipment to play things back on! The reel to reel machine I have is a domestic one from the 60s, and is in rather poor shape, making it unsuitable for anything resembling a high-quality transfer. I really need a high-end 70s / 80s -era machine, but they're getting much more difficult to find these days.
