When the heads on my 8 track Tascam wore out, I saw the handwriting on
the wal. Replacing the heads was going to be VERY expensive, and the
last few years have seen 1/2 inch tape go in and out of production. l
took the plunge and went 100% digital. It's a whole new world, and
I'm loving it. I'm even enjoying re-learning recording, which has some
differences from tape. First rule: Saturation BAD with digital
recording. With tape, it could be used to advantage. No more. Minus
12db is your friend!

BTW - there's a guy making really good U-47 microphone replicas for
about 2k. I mean REALLY good. Once you get seriously into recording,
microphone collecting becomes a companion addiction...

I'd love to get my hands on an old, working reel to reel tape deck with
sound on sound and sound with sound.

Pawn shops.

You know what? I don't know of a Pawn shop within a 30 mile radius of
here. I am sure they exist, but I sure don't know of any.

I've had good luck posting a "Wanted" listing in Craigslist. It's how I
got one of the Hammond B3s and Leslie, and at a good price. As salty
pointed out though, good quality tape is getting hard to find as well
although I am sure it exists.

I have a 720 Roberts you can have for the shipping but it might not be
good enough for what you want.

I had one of those! Had little metal flaps over the built in 3 inch
speakers on the sides. It also had the X-Field head setup designed and
produced by AKAI. A pretty good portable machine. Only two tracks and
1/4 inch tape, but you could ping-pong more tracks as long as you
didn't mind the resulting loss of sound quality. Worked okay for
composing and making very rough demos.
