Found this beautiful machine today.

I haven’t bought it yet, but I very well may.

Even if it needs cleaning or refurb work, it’s been a while since I’ve given myself a project like this.

The owner wasn’t at the shop, so I’ll have to go back and ask about it. It was just sitting in a lower storage cabinet in one of the record stores I frequent.

Even if it’s beyond fucked and unrepairable, I’d still like it as an #art piece.

Gorgeous!

@TheVinylApe I bought one a few years back. The best part is getting used tapes from eBay & finding hidden treasures on them.

@alwirtes totally man. I already have a ton of reel to reel tapes that I have no clue what’s on them, sitting in a box under my stairs.

@TheVinylApe The novelty wore off for me & I did quite well selling everything on eBay a year ago. But one of the tapes I had was the early 70s in-flight music program for TWA. It was an awesome!

@TheVinylApe I found my eBay photos. It was American Airlines Audio Program #10, “Sheer Stereo Delight”. Enjoy!
