It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Good thinking. But a few things to consider.

The tapes will never come down to $100. Hell, the raw tape alone costs almost that much. And that 15 ips deck your friend found will still be playing the tapes back via its internal, decades-old solid state preamps (I had my own Otari rewired to enable tape head output to a current-model deHavilland tape head preamp). Interconnects and power cords have to be considered here too; they make a big sonic difference in my setup.

As to making a digital file, I wouldn't do that for a variety of reasons if I was interested in sonics uber alles, but for convenience' sake it would definitely be worthwhile.

Once your friend transfers the tapes to digital, ask if he'll sell them to me at a discount :-)
