I'm looking for a two track reel to dub off a tape into performer with. Either in the Dallas area, or I can send the tape to you.
I need a deck that can do 1 7/8 ips.
All I need to do is play back an old tape and record it into DP in one pass. I'll then clean it up and burn to CD.
This is a tape of an elderly man's deceased wife winging many years ago. Anyone able to help me make an old guy very happy?
Thanks!
Tim
anyone have a 1 7/8 ips two track Reel?

Is it quarter-inch tape?
My deck doesn't go that slow, but we could try running at the slowest speed I got and thne you could digitally slow it down...
I'm in Irving\Valley Ranch so if you want to give it a shot, shoot me an e-mail....

Tim,
I'm sure you'll get more qualified offers for help, but if you're up against the wall and can't find any options, I still have a Tascam 388 Studio 8.
It's a 1/4" eight-track reel unit that runs at 7.5 ips, but I've put two track tapes on it before... you just get sound on four channels for each side.
Obviously there would need to be some resampling in the digital domain to get the sound right, but that might be acceptable depending on the quality of the original recording and the state of the tape.
This is definitely not the best choice, but if you have no other options, I'll be more than happy to help as best I can.

I have the tascam 388 as well (Actually not working right now) but I also have the tascam 38 which I believe could do the job. If you are interested give me an email and I will see what I can do to help you out.
