Hi folks,

New to using Sony TC 755A 1/4 inch reel to reel having fun though.Can't find a degausser in Aussie on ebay a few in USA but different voltage hear .
don't want to buy something I can,t use.
Can you erase tape useing a home made set up?Perhaps a dumb question.
My father in Law is electronics instrument repairer air force trained guy Knows little about audio stuff but can fix and make stuff with a diagram. He might be able to make me something.Any one with info on this topic?
I brought a couple of tapes they come from Deutsche Welle ??? some German
radio programs on them seem to be in excellent order.When I tried to tape over them I could hear what I had done plus the original stuff that seemed weird like it was going backwards. :eek: Has it been recorded on a 4 track set up?
Would like to use these tapes as they cost me $15 each LOL.You live and learn :(
thanks guys.

Hi - drop me an email at andrew@onlinecomputers.co.nz and I'll pass your name on to the techs at Rhema Broadcasting - they might have an old one lying around for 230v/50Hz. You'd have to pay shipping over the ditch tho'.
