I won't have to worry about a recording machine because, I will be recording them onto my computer, before I transfer them to CD.
When I say "recording machine" I mean the deck the tape was originally recorded on, if it was not the same deck you're using for playback.
As you know the Revox A77 was a very nice deck for its time. I used a Sony TC-645 which was not the equal of the Revox. But still pretty nice. If I were you I'd give serious consideration to refurbishing that A77. I wouldn't try it with the Sony but I believe that parts are still available for the Revox. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
