These sound great! What tape deck was used to record the audio originally?

@MisterMcStrat

Thanks ... The original off-air recordings were made on a Sony TC-353 quarter-track deck at a tape speed of 3-3/4 inches per second.

I am writing a paper on early sports radio, does anyone remember Calling All Sports when it was co-hosted by Bob Lobel and Upton Bell? Do you remember if they did a debate format or a call in chat format or an essay format or news format??? Please respond ASAP my paper is due tomorrow!
