[ARSCLIST] 7" NAB reels, was: Reel-to-reel preservation supplies?

[Lou Judson <loujudson@xxxxxxx>]

Wow, times sure have changed! Every commercial open reel tape I ever  
saw came on them, and we used to put our most valuable recordings on  
them in radio and studio work. Bob O says that they used to be called  
"flutter-free" reels, as the larger hub keeps machine spooling motor  
variations from affecting the playback.

Ther's a photo of one at
