My first R2R was a portable Panasonic RQ-102s reel-tape recorder. I received it at the age of 7 or something. I still have it but needs some maintenance/repair.
Later on I was listening to my dad's Unitra (forgot the model and have no pics). We didn't have a cassette tape deck or boombox for my biggest regret. I couldn't exchange tapes with my buddies
And some 4 years ago I returned to tapes after more than 20 years of absence. Now I have two working Pioneers - RT 909 and RT 707.
