Talk about analog fun Mark1, like you and marsman I still have my open reel tape deck too, along with a bunch of tape reels. I hardly use it now but when I first bought it in the early seventies (!) I used it an AWFUL lot...and it still works! Old fashioned point to point wiring etc. but very sophisticated for it's time. It's a four track, 3 speed
BRAUN TG 1000 / 4 machine built like a tank and weighs a ton.
I remember having fun with it also taping mono recordings twice in a parallel manner utilising two tracks in such a manner so that a tune sounded stereo and you would get that phase shift effect. It reminded me of the Ventures albums like Guitar Freakout, Super Psychedelics and Flights of Fantasy, heh heh...
