FTA: "An old Revere reel to reel recorder (salvaged from the town dump by my father) is now mounted on the wall. This unit was from 1957 and despite having no cabinet, worked quite well. It was only mono, but at 7 1/2 ips the sound was actually pretty good. I had this recorder up until around 1999 when I finally retired it permanently. 40+ years of service out of a piece of gear... most of the junk sold today would be lucky to last 1/3 that long."

- dsr_ 9y agoI just retrieved my father's 1965-ish Akai stereo reel-to-reel, along with two dozen commercially recorded reels. One of them is the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour. It sounds nearly identical to my CD - just a little wobble from the very very old tape stored in garages for decades.
