I encountered an estate sale that had a vast collection of vinyl and Reel tape. The previous owner must have had extensive library science skills as the vast collection was meticulously cataloged and organized.

I picked up several of his Reel to Reel recordings which unfortunately were done at the slower 3 3/4(?) speed. But the recording quality was better than I expected.

I had to dust off my R2R player (Akai 1710) and had to let the tubes warm up for a few hours before loading up a reel.

I had forgotten how much of a PITA those are to setup yet how much fun they are listening and watching.

Ill probably convert the recordings to Digital WAV files and store on disc considering the tape media is very well aged.
