    Default a reel project



    brought this back from Nam. every guy brought a system home. a tuner amp, turntable a reel to reel and speakers, including headphones. I took this out of storage a few days ago and im going to see if it still works. I had to order blank tape and an empty take up reel because those are impossible to find around here. I also found an IM and an SM if repairs are needed. standby for hunting down spare parts. this machine went for around 300-350 overseas. almost 700 back in the states. I was able to find rubber cleaner here locally for pinch roller and capstan cleaning. so when the tape arrives stand by for heavy rolls as we used to say

    Was that all solid state or were there a few vacuum tubes in those?

    I remember when I was a young teen, we went over to a friend's house after church. The boy of the family had gotten a small reel-to-reel tape thingy for Christmas. I thought it was the neatest thing ever. I wanted one so badly, but I knew we couldn't ever afford anything like that.

    Of course, the boy being a boy, he right there recorded a fart on the tape recorder. It was tasteless, but funny to hear a toot on the recorder.
