JRH Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I need a decent reel to reel player (recording not necessary) to evaluate the 500 or so PWK tapes that we have in the archive. Many have no identifying marks whatsoever. The result could be a "KlipschTapes Volume 2" with High Definition Tape Transfers: http://www.highdeftapetransfers.com/store_home.php?retain_notices=Y&retain_warnings=Y&retain_errors=Y Anyone have a verifiably operational unit that they would part with at "a reasonable price"? It needs to be 7 1/2 and 15 ips. Revox would be nice. Jim Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Choi Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hi Jim: Other than the speed requirement of the tapes, do you have any idea on if they are 2 track or 4 track? Assuming the tapes are all 1/4" format. I do have a large collection of the master recorders but I believe you need one that is in portable configuration. So are you looking for a machine to audition the tapes or do actual transfer? Ki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 1/4", 2-track, monitor only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Exciting... How many of these are there? I bet there is some great bluegrass on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Ten. But Bob Moers did not think the quality was very good (per conversation with Gary Gillum). I believe they were recorded by Dick Moore. I have not auditioned, and they will likely be near the end once I get a machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
