How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks?


I just bought a very nice condition Revox A-77 on Ebay and I have to say I love the sound of tape. I wish I had done this years ago when it made more sense. I see that good quality reel to reel decks are getting snapped up on Ebay and I am wondering who is buying them and what they plan on listening to (prerecorded music or tapes they make). How many people here on audiogon actually own a reel to reel that works and they use it regularly? Thanks.

Otari and Revox over here.
The Otari are MX-5050 BII-2 ( a pair. One near mint, the other not so mint but sounds good making it a good source of parts)

The Revox is the A77. Original model. Nice wood veneer exterior. But the metal work is not so minty. Fortunately, this model was cheap at the moment when I bought it.
