Thanks for posting.  Guess I'll either pay or buy the magazine.  Recently I bought a 3 DVD set on the history of RTR recorders.  I have been intrigued with tape recording since I was a kid and still am.

I was always amazed that you were able to get all those LITTLE magnetic "parts" to line up so they produced great music on a 1/8" piece of tape!  And then do it over & over & over & over again!!!   >:D
