My Teac X3 4 track reel to reel deck playing an old recording (possibly 1950′s?) of Bill Haley’s 1955 hit ‘Razzle Dazzle’. It was recorded via sound card and then sync’d to the video. I would have used my monster deck (TASCAM 32-2) but it didn’t go down to 3 3/4 IPS and four track, I had recently finished servicing this deck and it is a great little machine with a great smooth sound and can go all the way up to 28KHz (+-3dB). As far as I can tell it was recorded using parallel tracks but there is no apparent stereo separation. Sorry about the low video quality but I did not have a HD camcorder to hand. I bought this tape in a job lot from eBay and I have never heard this recording of this song before, I think it might be quite rare and sounds as if it was recorded from the radio (it sounds like medium wave to me) and might be live. The rest of the tape contains mains hum and a low level recording of some old radio show. An interesting piece of history. No copyright infringement intended.

Together they blend their talents to offer technically perfect renditions of arias from the great composers’ cantatas, The presentations are ever rewarding and vigorous.

As Watcher3223 stated, I was incorrect in saying that the flywheels were identical in the video.

This is a one of the best reel-to-reels ever.
