Re: arsclist Need: Transfer reel to reel audio to CD

["Nat Abrams" <gkaina@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Thanks.  My cousin has the tapes in San Diego.  They are just amateur family
recordings.

Who is likely to have a 1/4" reel to reel equipment?  The reels are 5" & 7".
Would people in the music department at the University of California at San
Diego have such equipment?  Any place else?

Thanks,

Nat
