Foreword: In 2009 I found slightly more than a dozen of commercial reel tapes in a Half Price Books in Everett, Wa. Price was at salvage rates so I grabbed every tape in sight. These plus an assortment of tapes acquired elsewhere are pictured below.
Articles on the machines:
Revox A77 (notes on the one sample)
Otari MX-5050 B2-II (notes on a nice sample)
One beat Up Otari (notes on a
shipping damaged unit)
