Reel to CD copy

crispdub · 2008-10-16 21:45:59

Hello. Can any recommend someone very reliable who can transfer very old family reel to reel tapes to CD ? My life would not be worth living if these tapes got damaged so a recommendation from someone who had something similar done would be fantastic. Thanks :)

If they're very old they may need to be 'baked' to make them playable.

The only Tape Oven I know of in Ireland is in Beechpark Studio.
