I want..................

Them that want, never get. That's the saying isn't it?
I want a good working reel to reel tape recorder. One of those big things that had their heyday before cassettes and CDs.
I got one for my 21st birthday. Didn't celebrate 18th birthdays then.
A few tape recorders later, have a few tapes but the tape recorder has withered with age.
I am trying to bid for one on Ebay but alas, I think it will too much for my budget. Can live in hope I suppose. lol
On the other hand, I don't think so in this case.
