Reel to reel equipment is one of the most beautiful pieces of home audio gear there is.

Took apart the RTR today to give it a good cleaning and deoxit all the pots and switches. Seems like it really needs it every few years. First post work listen! :)

The work continues! Replaced all the transistors on the playback side, and waiting on some more in the mail to redo the record side as well. Playing with inky black backgrounds now. :) Super happy I finally did it.
