Just wondered if this subject had been covered and wondered if it would be a good idea to make a master list of suppliers so that new and old users alike of R2R machines would be able to quickly look for new / old titles?

I've never seen a list anywhere. It would be nice to have one. I'm always scared when I get one off of eBay.
Great idea but there are people who have and know good sources but will not divulge to others for obvious reasons.
Only place I know is Ebay as has been mentioned.
Pretty sure this sort of info can be found over on TapeHeads. Not been on there in ages, lost my account password so profile is locked to me.

Now over 530 tapes available on commercial release - varying prices UDS150 to 475 (plus VAT if from the USA and shipping). I have bought some Tape Project tapes - these are now USD475 plus shipping plus VAT i.e. USD600+ when shipped to the UK.
I have bought a number of tapes from Eb*y - some excellent, some less so - some with provenance and some without. I have bought a number from hardbluesgarden and woodstockzagreb - all excellent sounding, but some definitely better than others. Original production masters have been around the USD500-600 mark, if you can stomach the cost.
Thats great thanks Charlie.
