I'm searching for a forum of those interested in restoring vintape
reel to reel tape recorders & discussing the do's & don'ts. Please
tell me if this is the right place or if you've any other suggestions.
I live in the United States, Brick New Jersey, 08724 to be specific.
Thank you.


If you are in the US, then this may not be the group for you.
American tape recorders (Ampex, Crown etc) were not terribly
popular in the UK. Revox, Brenell, Scopetronics, Ferrograph were.

You might find someone on RAT (Rec.audio.tubes) in addition
to myself who shares your interest in tape recorders.

You can see a British Leevers Rich R200 stereo
tape recorder (BBC model) now fully restored on
my site at:

Slightly related - in a recent house move I've found several 5" tapes which
I probably recorded from AM radio in the sixties. Nostalgic value only, but
where could I find someone to transfer them to CD? Lots of crappy products
on the market for converting records to CD but never seen anything for
tapes.
