Re: 10" Reel to Reel required. Help. Newbie

Something like a Revox , Sony , Technics , Teac/Tascam should be readily available , and once the tapes are transcribed to whatever other medium is wanted , then generally it can be sold on for the same price it was bought for and end up costing nothing . The Technics RS-1500US would be a very good choice because it is a half track machine which also has a switchable quarter track playback head , so will handle a greater variety of tapes without the compromise of playing half track recordings on a quarter track machine . The OP did mention the need to accommodate 10" reels , so that does narrow the field somewhat . For the purposes of playing back , a higher end machine need be no more daunting that something more 'domestic' |

Re: 10" Reel to Reel required. Help. Newbie
You may well be right there about a possible good economic/more durable investment [if it can be afforded] Derek and that a working "high end" TR may not be that much more difficult to operate [especially for playback purposes only] than a domestic model. I was thinking more about the whole subject area being a challenge to someone who doesn't know the basics [eg track formats, speeds] as evidenced by the amount of detail generously offered already. As I have pointed out things have changed and there is a much broader range of enquiries to the Forum these days

Well no further response I do, repeatedly, find that if you ask entirely appropriate questions, instead of responding, this is what often happens. We are left to draw our own conclusions I suppose... in the absence of anything else .

Re: 10" Reel to Reel required. Help. Newbie
The original poster did put in some effort to register for the forum and to make his first post, so whatever he wants, it has some importance to him.
Without any more information, I don't see how any more help can be given. I won't close the thread, so it will be here and waiting if he chooses to come back and say anything more. It feels disappointing that all the people who contributed don't get to find out if their efforts were helpful or not, but that's the way it goes with a number of threads. David
