Decks like this (operating at 15 in/sec) used to be considered the minimum you needed to get a quality analog master of your music.

1/4 inch 1/2 track, 2 track open reel tape recorder/reproducer.

which means:
the magnetic tape it uses is 1/4"
each track takes of 1/2 the width of the tape.
it can play/record two audio tracks across the width of the tape.

money, begpost, ugh 

If someone could lend me £100 until the 20th of April that would save me a huge amount of stress and problems. I'm owed roughly £1,500 that should have come weeks ago but won't come until the 20th (and even then only half, hooray).

In the meantime, I have to pay bills (which have just gone up by about 20%) today or tomorrow. My living situation is miserable but survivable, but if I'm late with this it's going to get really horrible.

I also have some cassette deck in various states of disrepair, but they're too lo-fi for me to have much interest in getting them to work
