How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks?


I just bought a very nice condition Revox A-77 on Ebay and I have to say I love the sound of tape. I wish I had done this years ago when it made more sense. I see that good quality reel to reel decks are getting snapped up on Ebay and I am wondering who is buying them and what they plan on listening to (prerecorded music or tapes they make). How many people here on audiogon actually own a reel to reel that works and they use it regularly? Thanks.

I'm looking for a skilled repair tech for my 1976 Sony TC-645.

Any help would be appreciated.

I used to own a Teac X1000R. It had DBX noise reduction. Now it's back to vinal. I wish there was a way to record onto blank vinal discs.
Noobie question:

Can i use a Nagra IV to playback commercial reels? Tape project reels? Or is it the wrong "size".
The basic requirements for Tape Project tapes are 10.5 reel, 15ips, 2 track stereo with IEC EQ.
