    Peter,

    If there's no room at the inn.... (you could always think about making some...). Actually that is a very relevant point. I have 3 studio R2R machines and about 100 x 10.5 inch reels (c. 50 x 15 IPS masters and 50 x duplicates). At this rate, I can see the tape storage overtaking the space needed for my 2000 LPs.

    I don't think the tape storage is ever going to overtake my LPs. Mostly because of the cost of tape, plus the fact that I have around 20,000 LPs.

    Most of my original tapes are 7". If I dub something I usually use a 10". I use the 10" reels very sparingly.

    I've got 2 good machines. I'm not sure how many cartridges. A lot of the cartridges need to be restored. I find those toolbox carriers full of them at the thrift store all the time for next to nothing all the time.

    Find yourself something like this to play around with. It cost me$10 plus way too much shipping. I don't recommend this particular model. It has no service manual that I could find and took me two weeks to bypass the 40 year old microprocessor, but there are a lot of similar models. It's about the size of a turntable with the dustcover on it when it's on it's back.
