Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

It's worth checking the heads.

If the heads will pass the fingernail test, or something close to it, the headstack alone will easily bring $200 or more on eBay. Even if they're worn down to the point of needing a trip to JRF magnetics for a re-lap, they're worth something.

Your headstack is the most popular, though a number of variants also exist -- quarter-track record, full-track, etc. The final version, still being produced in VERY small quantities, comes stock with just three heads -- erase and two-track record and playback.

Happy New Year!
