Refurbished/Rebuilt Reel To Reel Tape Deck

After reading Ken Kessler's article in the December issue of HiFi News on; "Investigation - Keeping it reel", my interest in this music format has piqued. The reel to reel tape revival seems to be gathering momentum. My question is; who in the USA can supply a fully refurbished/rebuilt Revox B77 MK11, HS, 2T tape deck? Comments on other tape decks to consider would be much appreciated. Similarly, your thoughts on the SQ of this format compared to vinyl, CD and digital downloads.

That is all true. For example, a pristine copy at 7.5 ips  of Hendrix’s "Are You Experienced?"...that ...will blow your mind.

IMO and IME, no LP or digital copy you can buy... remastered, whatever, will come close to that tape.

There were a fair number of those sort of tapes released....

But the prices are going up....

And.. you have a very limited amount of runs through the tape, to capture it, as the tapes are definitely deteriorating as time passes....
