Some open reel decks only use 7.5" reels,10" decks can use both sizes.I owned a Dokorder 10" deck in the 70's,wish I still had it!I have seen open reel decks here on Audiogon for well under $1000.00.You would be pleasantly suprised at the quality of recording you can get with a good source and good tape.
Reel to Reel for play back
I am sure if I search the threads I may find the answer but would prefer fresh info.
If I wanted to get into Reel to Reel for play back only can I get a unit for under $1000.00? And if so what make should I be looking for.
Also what is this 7.5 or 10" reels ? I thought Reel to Reel players would play all sizes?
FYI: I am 85 percent vinyl, 10 percent digital and 5 percent undecided.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
If I can do for less then a 1000.00 all the better, if it takes more $$$ so be it. Gives me something to consider.
