Otari two track. Great pro deck easy to find used and, I believe, they still make it. Yes Ebay is a great start, but consider antique stores and estate sales. The rca stereo classical tapes are amazing. That would be where I would put my money. Liberty records put out some killer music by Martin Denny and Arthur Lymann. You might get lucky and find some Julie London. Happyhunting!
Reel to Reel decks
Is anyone out there using reel to reels anymore? I remember at one time(30 years ago), they were probably some of the best analog reproduction equipment out there. Of course, it doesn't matter much if you can't buy good prerecorded tapes. I've googled prerecorded tapes, but haven't found much out there. Anyone have a good source? Also, can anyone recommend a good deck?
