lol sorry it's 1/4" tape on 7" reels :-D runs about 10 bucks a spool :0 for the lower quality I need. deck will record on higher quality (and more expensive!) tape but the electronics limit performance ;-) feels good to finally get a reel to reel been wanting one a couple years! exciting! joined a couple online fora already for advice and tips ;-) oh and potential parts!

Congrats! The 4010 is a solid deck. TEACs last very well and parts are available. I still have my tape decks, though they see little use except occasionally digitizing an old session. There are techniques that only work with analog, so have fun!
