Several different R2R manufacturers used these.They use the standard 1/4 inch spindle same as the three, five, and seven inch reels. I am LOOKING for some!
I have a few (seven), that I bought new from Burstien Applebee back in 1970 or so. BASF branded. One ml 3,200 feet.
I would like with or without tape if anyone has ideas?

I addition to american "standarts" on 3, 5, 7 and 10 1/2 inches, which are designed for tape length twice increasing/decreasing from format to format, in Europe and USSR "half formats" were as popular as "standarts".4-inch reels were the must for pre-recorded tapes in UK and used instead of 3-inch reels in smaller battery machines everywhere except for Germany (UK, Italy, Hungary, USSR at least), while 3-inch reels were exotic.
5 3/4 inch reels were the main standart for 3 3/4 ips machines in 50s-60s in Germany and in 60s-70s in USSR, even more popular than 7 inch reels.
Speaking of 8 1/4 inch reels, I can regard older pioneer 1-track (rarely 2-track) machines for householdings which appeared in the early 50s and in 60s were already scrappy old. Countries - Germany and USSR also. Reels contained 500m of a standart tape and disappeared from USSR and German stocks in 1964 or 1965. They returned only in 80s for hi-end machines in USSR, Germany and Japan, so, while almost all hi-end tape-recorders were designed for using such 22cm reels, tape on them appeared too rarely on stocks (usually 700, 720 or 750m of LP tape), while 7-inch shape was dominant. I've never seen them (8 1/4) after 1992
try german or other european ebay. Radio Netherlands used this size reel for their concert transcriptions that were sent to NPR stations in the US. Braun 1000 used this size reel. I don't think it was used as a maximum size on any US or Japanese decks.
Thanks for your input!I have a Magnecord 1021, and a Magnecord 1022, and a Magnecord 1024 that I purchased NEW in 1970.
Each of these use the 8-1/4 reels as the max size.
Actually up to a nine inch could be acommadated. But no larger.
The Magnecords were made in Tulsa, OK by MidWestern Insterments later owned by Telex and were primarily used in studios and stations they are built for continous use. Very heavy duty.
The motors and braking is to accommadate the 8-1/4 in. reels.
Remember me if you run across any reels.

Darrell
The Magnecord 1024 allowed them. Don't believe any of the Japanese 7" machines ever did.
