Re: [ARSCLIST] Looking for a 1/4 track reel-to-reel

[Erik Dix <edix@xxxxxx>]

Hi Lance!

We just got a remanufactured Ampex ATR-102 with full mono, 2 track stereo, and
1/4 track stereo heads from ATR Services in York, PA. It can play anything from
1 7/8 ips to 60 ips and is an awesome machine. It is also capable to adjust to
speeds that might lie inbetween. But it is not cheap.

Their website is www.atrservice.com. You might want to see if they can help this
archivist out.
