No, I still have all mine. But I worry about them. The tape gets brittle, the magnetism diminishes, the pads come unglued, etc.

I played one a few days ago that I hadn't played for years and there was crosstalk and echo like crazy. I'm sure it wasn't like that when I last played it. And I have others with crinkly tape and lots of dropouts.

I don't think the old Pioneer CT-2121 is doing them any favors. But the HK is still good I think.

Maybe I should tranfer them before they die...but I have so many still.
