* Many or most of the reel-to-reel tapes on Ebay are sold by people without a tape deck to audition them. They are from estate sales and garage sales. The good part: these tapes would never otherwise be available. The bad part: Obvious, tape quality is totally unknown and unknowable.
* Related to the above, I've bought two tapes off Ebay in the past couple of months
that were not what the box said they were. The most recent: six Telemann flute sonatas in a box supposedly containing three Haydn symphonies. It's all part of the fun.
* Threading a tape deck quickly is an acquired skill and takes practice. I'm still acquiring it :-)
* Finally, tape decks (this applies to cassette decks too) must be played regularly or they will need even more frequent trips to your tape tech.
