Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.

The format is dying and too expensive to repair properly. Heads wear out so easy and many out there are all worn.
High quality technicians are either retired or long gone. Its such an inconvenient format that can be equalled by nakamichi easily in tape decks.
Retire it please put them in museums.

Bummer, I'm considering a Pioneer RT 707 for my system. Really just for looks, I mean you can't beat the look? Gorgeous. Stunning, bla, bla, bla... But do I really want to spend $500 - $100 for something to 'pretty up' my rack?

uberwaltz,

"Now excuse me while I go read up on Elcaset some more ....."
So you are the one slowing that Elcaset website I am reading.

Now, sleepwalker65 gave me another homework with that TEAC open cassette. I did not forget about it. I never knew about it.

After all of this, 8-track seems like a mundane mainstream these days. Not to mention R2R. It is like a fledgling teenager.

Not so long ago, I told it to another person and he said "Well, they already have that. It is called...drugs."
