It is interesting reading about the dilemma those of us who have a lifetime of DX audio stored on reel-to-reel and cassettes are in. I have some really old reel-to-reel tapes which have disintegrated but all of my DX stuff seems to be OK and is just sitting there waiting to be transferred to the next available, and hopefully lasting, medium. I am currently preoccupied right now with something else so will attack this in the fall. Also on the agenda is editing 10,000 slides. (My son recommends getting an industrial strength scanner into which you can feed 10 slides or so at a time and then reselling it on E-Bay [or whatever]).
Meanwhile, I have a slew of 2-track stereo tapes which I recorded during the early days of KPEN (now K-101), KFOG and WJIB. It is unsatisfactory trying to play them on 4-track machines because you lose all the highs on the left channel because of the mismatch. Does anyone have a 2-track machine which is on the verge of being sold? I have spent some time on E-Bay looking but one wastes a lot of time because when the machines are identified as stereo, the sellers don't always bother telling you if it is 2- or 4-track.
