a new acquisition

i've been in to the idea of using reel to reel tape for years ... having watched the film The Conversation years ago ... as well as being into the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

I have recently acquirred a machine similiar to the one pictured... A ReVox PR99 MKIII... a few of the buttons are different.... its exactly like the picture below the first ... but does have a metal plate with groouves in it in the middle empty section at bottom.... i also have an older machine called Golden Spinney as well which is working, but needs fixing... the tape pressure pad is needing replacing... I think it is a 1950's/60's machine... similiar to the one pictured below...


I'm going to start playing around with sound ... who knows what might happen...
