@tiddlywinks98712 like more than the thing to play it.

[tiddlywinks98712]

hey, how much does the actual 'reel tape' cost for these reel to reel machines?? and is it readily available to get?

[FelSound]

@tiddlywinks98712 up to $700

@tiddlywinks98712 Just in case you still care about an answer, usually you can get NEW reels of 1/2" tape for around $80 each. There are 2 brands that make tape nowadays, RMGI and ATR. If you go on ebay or on other sites you can get New Old Stock tapes for much less depending on the tape. What you want to stay away from is late 70s-80s Ampex stuff especially 456 and 406 because they often develop sticky shed syndrome which makes the tape useless. Hope this helps.
