Hey miroslav, dodgeaspen and Dr Zee, thanks so much for your replies, I had no idea these reels were worth anything!
It's great to know I can get a few bucks for them, I'll do a thorough web search before deciding on pricing, then I'll put them up for sale in the classifieds forum here at prices that
are somewhat less than what's online.
I'll also notify each of you individually before I put them up publicly, in case you want some at lower prices.
As a result of you guys' comments I've just done some research on prices, yikes!
$11.50 for a used 7" plastic reel - if that were for real I'd be sitting on a gold mine!
) Thanks also Dr Zee for the observation "if you sell your metal reels for cheap, chances are that they will end up on eBay later" ~ ooof! that'd frost me off no end!
Plus thanks for the link to usrecordingmedia.com, very helpful.
I'll also be selling my Revox A700, which I bought new in 1977, and I'll post that in classifieds, too. Alas, it is not in perfect working order, several small probs but mainly a serious recording problem. I found one that was put up first at $900, then at $500, then at $400, but it's condition was described as excellent, so I'm guessing I'll
be lucky even to get $200 for mine, and possibly nothing, since it requires real work.

Sorry to be so long in getting back to you, I've only just now checked the email notification box so I'll be more current in the future.
