Reel To Reel to CD

[squirrel77]

Does anyone know where I can find someone who can transfer old reel to reel tapes to CD. Thanks

There are various firms that do this, but if you still have (or can borrow) a reel-to-reel player that has a usable output it shouldn't be too difficult to do it yourself, or to find a friend that can. (Same principle as converting vinyl to CD: feed a suitable output into your PC and use Audacity or similar to record, then burn with Nero/Roxio or similar).

Hi,
Ta for that. sadly i don't have access to an old machine. Do you know the names of any firms that can transcribe them for me??

I haven't used any of these services, and these are just from the first page of a Google search for "reel to reel to cd transfer" - there are more that may be cheaper/better:
