  Subject: [ARSCLIST] need assistance 
  transfering reel to reel tapes...
  
  Hello all, 
I am in need of some assistance in transferring 15 reel 
  to reel tapes I won on ebay into digital form either one big wav file that I 
  would break up, or individual wav files or even a regular audio CD. These are 
  recordings of cylinders made by a new hampshire collector in the seventies and 
  copies were made by a Mr. Walter L. Welch. 
I am looking for someone 
  who can either lend/rent me some equipment and instruct me on its use or 
  perform the transfers for me. I have very little in the way of budget so any 
  and all generosity would be greatly appreciated! 
I would consider 
  trading the actual tapes as partial payment for the work. I am not overly 
  concerned with the quality of the transfers, I understand that playing back 
  tapes can be a very complex and exacting science. I am merely interested in 
  bringing these recordings back to to be heard again. 
I am located near 
  New York City but would be willing to ship the tapes wherever they need to go. 
  For more information and description of the tapes, please visit http://hertzmail.com/tapes 
  
I have estimated that there about 300-400 minutes of cylinders on 
  these tapes. Please contact me off list. thanks!
  
Thanks very much.
