I still have my old 4-track Teac reel-to-reel deck with sound-on-sound and 10 inch reels, and I have aspirations of dumping my tapes to digital at some point. Just a few years ago, I took an album master from 1983 and was able to get that off, no problem. Some of my reels date from the late 1960s, and those may be more of a challenge. The local studio bakes those old ones a bit before making the dump.
