I currently have 112 r2r 7" tapes and am looking for more.
Anyway, you got yourself a decent stash there Brax. Enough to keep you going for awhile anyway, although your collection is definitely more diverse than mine.
I thought you got a hold of a Revox A77. That's a 10" capable machine. I know that you were having some issues with it but had gotten it fixed. Did you get rid of it or am I thinking of someone else? Now that I think about it, it must've been someone else because I put together a real nice package of tapes, reels, splicing block, leader, and splicing tape for that guy. And I don't think I shipped them off to Canada. And no, it wasn't free. He did pay me for it all. But at cost. I made zero profit on it.
Gosh. And I only got about 6 10 inch reels and 60
7 inchers. To make it more interesting, my Teac r2r isn't working.
Anyone know someone they would trust to fix a r2r? Basically, the tape sags during playback. Right capistan/pinch roller isn't keeping tension.
I'm showing this thread to my wife.
I have repeatedly offered up some free tapes via my "name those tunes" contests. Only once did someone win and claim a prize. And that was cassette tapes.
Due to low participation (and for that matter, people who even open those topics), I have decided to place an indefinite hiatus on those contests. They just take too damn long and too much effort when on a good day, maybe 30 people will view it and maybe 8 people will participate.

DL-And Maxell reels are going for $80+ on the bay right now
Pikers and amateurs.
I have 132 receivers, over 50 pairs of speakers, probably 30 turntables, 30 or so cassette decks, etc...and an almost full 10x10 storage area.
My problem's bigger than your problem!
I seem to have a reciever OCD. I have many more in each room of the house and my garage. Also turntable, amps, Speakers, R2R's and thousands of records, 45's and LP's.

I'll tell you what. How about a contest where we try to stump you? Set some ground rules and we can upload files to Youtube or wherever. The winner gets a tape.
