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.

Hi!

I bought my first reel to reel in 1974 when I was 15. It was a Tanberg with built in amp and speakers.... Then in 1997 I bought a Tandberg 10XD with 10 inch reels. And sold it for a 3 head cassette player Nakamichi Dragon. Silly me. However, I bought 20 years later a second hand Revok B77 Mk2, which we use a lot. Especially at parties and social events, as no one dare to touch. It looks to scary :) Great sound, and we can tape songs from Spotify.
