He has to use tape as the sleeve is incompatible with the playing of records.

You certainly wouldn’t want Richard Ashcroft trying to operate a tape recorder.

Naff?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Fuck.

Nice machine but theres not much good & sensibly priced two track material to play on it. Be great for recording with if you can find musos who’ll let you record them.

There’s enough for me to mess about with. Pitty Horch House seems to have died.

You can always record some CDs…

At this rate, the Abattoir is going to be responsible for the resurgence of tape, on it’s feckin’ own.

Edd, you’re going to fucking well eat tape with that thing, it’s 2 track, so each channel uses half the width of the tape, meaning you can only record in one direction… But you have a shitload of bandwidth there especially at 15ips… And the heads look good, which is lucky, because they’re Unobtanium…

If the NAB adaptors are solid, for £45, buy them, they’re £100 new, and getting hard to find, even from TEAC/TASCAM.
