WANTED: working 7" two/four track multi-speed open reel tape deck
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2015 2:07 pm
Hi all, not sure if I'm allowed to post this on here or not, but I'm after an old style open reel tape deck, either valved or transistorized.
I used to have an old Philips AG-8108 deck, which I inherited from my grandfather, but it has long since bitten the dust. I used this to record various band rehearsals, but I also have a few taped recordings of my grandfather's orchestral concerts from the 1950's and 1960's. Obviously I would like to transfer these recordings to the computer for archiving.
I believe most of the recordings were made at 3 3/4" speed, although some I made were at 7.5" speed. I don't think offhand I have anything at 1 7/8" speed but I am not sure. Maximum reel diameter is 7"
Can anyone help me? A machine such as this might be the sort of thing languishing in IAC members lofts

Please PM me if you think you can help. Many thanks in advance
John
