I got my first reel to reel tape recorder today! It’s a Sony TC-603D I picked it up locally for 35 bucks. The motor and mechanism needs to be lubricated up and its belts replaced, but other than that it works fine.3yr ⋅ jacob45632 ⋅ r/ReelToReel

Comparing the Akai M-8 to other tape recorders at the beginning of 60s, it was well ahead. With a regular 1200-foot tape, the M.8 can provide 4 hours of full stereo high-fidelity audio at up to 21,000 Hz at 74 ips.
