Scored one. Had to do some detective work to find the correct reel spools though. One was rather common, one not so much.

Still a bit of work to do, need to take that red label off near the heads, finally hopefully, fingers crossed record and play still work and I can get the incantations recorded on there.
Seems like it is working though.

Sweet! Now you just need to record Knowby's lines onto the tape...

The original recorder was actually used for editing audio for Raimi's early films.
It had belonged to I think Campbells father, so there is a bit of history for it other then just a prop. Gotta find that funky bankers lamp now!

Was able to jack in and record straight from the PC, looks like all is working
and 30 year old tape still works. I didn't even clean the recording head.
Now somehow there has to be a track of the the Professor
without score and sound FX out there!
