Well, actually, the old as modified by some marketing type is new again. BEWARE of this unit. It is my understanding that it uses 0.150-inch-wide tape -- as in cassette tape (with the assumption that the track format is the same as cassettes). Therefore, it requires special reels and special tape to use. It will not play quarter-inch tapes--at least as I understand it. Also, remember, RCA is not the company it once was. It is now just a brand name. Richard At 10:50 AM 2007-04-05, you wrote: >I never thought I'd see this hybrid: > >http://www.giftaffair.com/rca_reel_media_center.html > >Marcos > Richard L.
