My buddy just scored a MINT Technics r2r on eBay because his step-dad who is a retired recording engineer said analog tape is the end of the movie.
The problem is, the movie ended about 30 years ago -- and tape doesn't age well like vinyl can. Plus, there was never that much pre-recorded r2r because cassettes flooded the market with the advent of car players and Walkmen.
Maybe you or your kid has a band and want to do analog recordings? Go fo it, if you can find tape at a decent price. But if you just want to sit, and watch the reels go 'round and 'round . . . . . . .
I don't think so!
