Reel 2 Reel - bottomless pit of faff, expense and hisssssssss

Yes, it was a joke lol

You should be there on it, the latest fad of R2R and get some old crap tapes listed at massive margins, then you too could afford the same car as MCRU.

you wait 8-track will be next

Can’t see it, too convenient and lower quality than reels. The only attraction is the scarcity of recorded material.

Oi, I worked in the service dept in South Shields for Ferrograph fixing these. Classics in their day. To be fair, the Seven series we’re an upgrade.

More about the context in this case.

Ok me missing something - sleep time :smiley:

Used by this lot.
