Re: [ARSCLIST] Reel-to-reel preservation supplies?

Part of transferring a 5" or 3" reel at my studio is spooling it to a 7" large-hub reel in a new 
box. And I use my Technics deck to do the spooling because it's so gentle on the small reels.

Unless you're playing back on a small-reel deck or something like a Technics, these small reels are 
usually not handled well. Last-generation decks from Studer, Ampex and Otari are different because 
they had much gentler transports than their forefathers.

Those NAB hubs are MUCH better on the tape too - the tiny hubs on 3"
reels can pul hard and stretch the tape badly, with just a slip of your
timing. The big hubs are the best for small bits of tape.
