I've dabbled a bit with a decent but certainly not archival-grade reel to reel. If it weren't for my own boxes of 1/4" tape I need to process I'd jump on it.

We have one but we're in the UK so it's not really practical.
Don't leave it too long. 1/4" tape, at least the domestic grade we used, professional quality might be better, suffered badly from print through.
Apologies if I'm trying to teach my grand~ to suck eggs.

We had 2 of this exact model when I was a kid. Checking to see if they're still available.

Moving to the new office has had a profound effect on my processing of analog stuff into digital files. And as literal carloads of processed items leave, I'm digging into long-backburnered stuff. It's nice.
