Hi,
I hope this is the right group for my query.
I work in a military museum


Interesting. Which one? Link to a website?


and in a display on WWI we have sound effects of
gunfire and shells exploding, etc. These are on tape and play on an Aiwa
portable cd/cassette player. The model escapes me for the minute, but it's
a
pretty good one.
As the tape plays constantly for seven hours a day, seven days a week, the
auto-reverse facility (understandably) has given up the ghost.


Yeah, that's the trouble with Jap crap - use it 24/7 solid for a couple of
decades and it'll let yer down!



My question is, would it be worth repairing? I know even for an engineer
to
look at it will cost, so should we just invest in another one?


No, do like Nath says and get it ripped to CDR. (Presumably the CD side of
your Aiwa is working OK and has a 'Repeat' switch?)
