Hi,
I hope this is the right group for my query.
I work in a military museum 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.
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?
Many thanks for any replies.

Tony, have a look on www.ebay.co.uk you will find an auto reverse cassette
deck for much less than £40.00 including postage.


Many thanks to you all for your excellent advice.
The CD side of it has never been used, so I think I'll go down the cd-r
road.
Oddjob, good idea eBay. I'll bear it in mind for future reference.
Thanks.
Now for the advert. Go here to visit the museum:

it's The Duke Of Wellington's Regimental Museum based in Halifax. Well worth
a visit!

Thanks again,
Tony.
