Hey Folks:    I've been watching this thread with interest.   I have a lot of 
old 78's and LP's, and also lots of reel to reel tapes that I will be 
copying.   My problem is finding a good!! reel to reel tape recorder to use to play 
them in the first place.   All of mine now are "scratchy" and/or don't turn at 
the correct speeds.   I have had friends give me (at least 4) really 
(originally) expensive tape players, but none of them was worth a darn, and not really 
repairable these days.   Anyone know where I can find a new or good one?   I 
did find a great new turntable that plays 78's as well as 45 and 33 1/3.
Thanks for any clues.
John
