I still have my Teac 4010 reel to reel that I got in Nam in 1970. Put new belts on a few years ago, use it to record, then if I like it I dump it onto a cd.

My class A is a bit smaller than you fellows’. (8 ton version)

Here’s what the engine on the class A should look like (I noticed it was missing from the kitbuilt one)

Here’s my plastic, balsa, and dowel “close enough” version.

Mik, that works for me. Really neat. You won’t notice anything missing, from a galloping horse. (My version of the 10 ft rule. :stuck_out_tongue: )

I got an old Akai tape deck over there, had a reel-to-reel, cassette and 8 track all built into it, that you could record from one to the others. I finally got tired of tearing it apart to replace the belts in it. It may still be sitting in storage somewhere. It was a pretty hefty piece of machinery.

I remember those Ken! One company had a recorder you could dubb from reel-to-reel, you would mount four reels on a weird looking setup. Bet none of those still work!
