VINTAGE / USED / NEW / NOS

Reel to Reel / R2R Tapes for sale as well as Take-Up reels. Used, New and NOS Reel to Reel tape by Ampex 456 / , BASF, Maxell XL-II XLII, Scotch 3M 226, Sony, TDK SA / GX and More.

A note about our Reel to Reel tape. As far as we can tell, there is no NEW tape being made, and rarely is NOS tape available. Most of our tapes have already been recorded on. Some may include boxes and leaders intact, and some may not. May or may not have usable labels. Boxes and / or reels may have extraneous labels and / or marking on them. We try and accurately note when they do, but neither are ever guaranteed as it's a tedious task inventorying those aspects on each tape.

An interesting note found on the web @ http://tascamforums.com/index.php?showtopic=2964&mode=linearplus
"...Tom Scholz & Boston used Scotch 226 or die for tracks, 996 for mastering...Scotch 966/986 was an "improvement" on 226, but Scholz didn't like it so he stocked up on 226 before it was discontinued, and still uses it today.
A lot of the signature sounds that groups were identified with came form using various tapes on machines tuned for Ampex 456. The key was the way the other tapes sounded on a deck tweaked for 456. Tweaking the machine for another tape would change and maybe ruin the sound. The original Boston sound was best using Scotch 226 on a machine set for Ampex 456 tape."

Applications
