Help with old reel to reel/cassettes

[leswp1]

You guys know the answer to just about everything so why not this? I just got some old family tapes (45 yrs old at least for the r-r) of the family talking and doing things. I also have some old cassettes, one of which I had to gently disengage after it decided to jam in my cassette deck in the car (this was awhile ago). Does anyone know of a place or a way that I can get this onto a disc? The cassette thing is really worrying me because it jammed before. It is one of the only things I have of my grandfather's voice.

If a local college or school has a broadcasting school/course, they might have cassette or reel to reel machines. That might be the best place to start - if they don't have them they might know where you could get access to one.

Good luck.

Thanks. I have the machines but not to get to disk. I am really looking for some sort of business that lets me hand em over and get the finished product back because they are so old.

Just talked to this place. Discount right now of 20% and no shipping. Thank you more than I can say! Have been trying to get a place to have stuff done forever.

For anyone else who has been considering-this place doesn't block reproduction, gives little samples of what is on tape, labels the tapes, etc. They also do cassettes and repair them. w00T!
