Has anyone got an old working Reel to Reel?
Mrs has a few reels which she thinks might have recordings of her mom and dad talking on them.
Cheers

When at my folks last month I pulled out the Super 8 projector, got it going (held together with tape lol) and managed to get it to play the old films. My BIL recorded one for me on his phone of me riding an ER50 (sans helmet!) which ws filmed by my mum or dad lol
Im sure you'll not pay a lot for one of those reel2reels, they were very plentiful back in the day, how about ebay?

I have got one I got it refurbished 2008/2009 But Its been in the garage last 12 years or so, still in its original carry box so would have to check it still works I got a load of film copied to video & dvd of my mum & dad shortly before they passed, great memories. I will check it works for you when I get back from Manx GP 3rd September if that helps Best regards Johnny c

You up in the paddock Johnny? Very Sorry for late reply but been flat out working on 3 bikes with Robbie Silvester (Team Owner) to them get ready for tonight’s practice session and now just sat down in Parc Ferme. Yep in the paddock since 17th August and get home 2nd/3rd September with VRS Racing, we are directly behind the main shower block, so if you’re over here, call in for a chat. The three riders we have got are. Pete Murry (USA) Kawasaki ZXR 750 Classic TT Superbike race. Adam Bauer (USA). Honda 600 Manx Senior race Andrew Fisher (UK). Kawasaki 650 Supertwin in Manx lightweight race. I will just be happy as long as they all finish safe and sound. As I still feel like I am giving them a loaded gun to play Russian Roulette so just happy when they finish 👍 Best regards Johnny c

Reel to Reel So good & bad news The motor and drive for the spools works but the projector light doesnt work, unfortunatley I dont have a spare bulb in the box. Drop me a line if it’s any use to you. Best regards Johnny C.
