Vintage and newer reel-to-reel tape decks are popular with buyers and collectors of analog audio formats. Some of the more sought-after reel-to-reel units include those that can record, and those which can play quadraphonic reels. You may even be able to find a reel-to-reel deck that can also take 8-track tapes.
There are many companies that made sturdy, nice-sounding reel-to-reel tape players and recorders, and many still-working examples are seen for sale at any given time in the marketplace.
