Hi folks.
Actually, I still have two open reel decks in active use. One is a Sony
255 open reel deck that I am using for taped loggings down in my ham
station, the other is a solenoid-operated TEAC open reel deck that I still
use for sound editing on my stereo system upstairs. Both are still in good
working order.
