This is truly remarkable. If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't hold 10 in. reels I'd probably ditch my 30-year- old TEAC 3300 with massively worn heads for it. What I don't understand is the reasoning behind offering an obsolete medium. Does it have Dolby NR encoding? Three heads? Sound-on-sound? It's probably a bargain compared to the $450 I paid for the TEAC back in 1973, but so what?
The marketing angle has me buffaloed. Who, exactly, will buy these things? I guess retro is in.

Just looking at that reminds me I do want to own another R-R. I regret selling my Akai 10" machine. I miss having a REEL hi-fi recorder. Makings CD's and MD's in nice but I miss making really hi-fi recordings. I don't miss cassettes but I pine for R-R...
Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.
I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.

That is on the Sears Canada site. I haven't been able to find anything on sears.com here in the states. What's up with the our nighbors to the north? Maybe there is an abundance of R to R tape available up there.

Wow. I've got about 50 old aircheck and archive reels from the days I used to work in radio.
That's a real tempting purchase.  |

Neat- but why does it have a built-in CD player?

Like that old Roberts reel-to-reel from the late '60s that had cassette and 8-track. What a device! |
