Reel to Reel Tape Repairs
We can usually carry out a temporary repair to damaged reels of audio tape in order to transfer them.

Domestic Audio Reels
The first reel to reel tape recorders were introduced into the UK in the late forties. They recorded and played open reels of 1/4" wide magnetic tape. These early machines were full track, which meant that they recorded across the full width of the tape.
Later came half track machines, allowing two separate mono recordings on each side of a tape, or one single stereo recording across the full width of the tape. Finally came quarter track machines, which allowed up to four separate mono recordings on a tape, or two seperate stereo recordings. Tapes recorded on one type of machine cannot be played back correctly on another type.

Open reel tapes could also have been recorded at up to four different speeds - 15, 7.5, 3.75, or 1.875 IPS (inches per second). We often receive reels where a variation of speeds have been recorded onto the same reel of tape.

Studio Audio Reels
We use two and four track professional Revox and Teac studio machines to transfer your studio recorded tapes. We can playback and transfer at NAB, IEC and CCIR standards.

Sticky Shed Syndrome - A problem we are experiencing ever increasingly with open reel studio tapes, particularly from the 1970's and '80s. The solution to the problem is to have the tapes expertly dried out or 'baked'. For more information on our tape baking service, please visit the
Tape Baking Page.
