This was the one my grandmother owned for 40-something years. After coming out of storage, I discovered it was broken. Video filmed on: 7/23/2011 10:45 PM

Vintage reel-to-reel tape player I bought, and then returned because it did not work right. It ran on batteries ONLY. It had no circuitry for a wall outlet. Very strange. Video filmed on: 8/3/2011 11:56 AM

Audio track from a band unknown to me. All credit to the respective owners of this music. I like it, that is why it is here. Thanks to feed back from you YT guys and girls. The band or group is: The Bullock Brothers Track: The Face in the mirror Akai GX 620 reel to reel running at 3 3/4 IPS or 9.5 cm/sec Sound was recorded through the camera’s microphone, not super hifi.

Originally titled “Mark I’ then “The Void” and ending up “Tomorrow Never Knows,” copped from Ringo’s endless library of non-sequiturs. And now, The Beatles’ Magical Orchestra and five reel-to-reel tape recorders with tape loops going around and around… Kudos to keyboardist Keith Hill who masterfully faded the looped sounds in and out and all the right times.

This 1960 Viking Reel to Reel Tape Recorder is a six-valve vacuum tube powered model. It is missing the felt pads that press the tape onto the heads in playback mode. This video demonstrates how the sound is muffled and barely audible until I touch two Q-tips down against the running tape, making a solid contact with the two stereo tape heads. It should work perfectly once some new pads are attached! For more retro stereo fun: atomicspacejunk.com

A TEAC reel to reel tape player that I purchased at an estate sale recently. The tape playing was recorded in the 1970′s.

I have spent some time getting my PCM3324 to work, it isn’t perfect but its running, I also started work on the Mitsubishi X-86 which I worked out in a matter of hours, the Studer D820X is still faulty and I have a good idea what it is but I need a logic analyzer to really be able to see. Every digital reel to reel I have owned either does not work, or only half works, a lot of time and effort goes into them to make them work again.
