Film & Audio Reels

Although you might be able to find a used movie projector in working order, old film is delicate and brittle and can easily break if you attempt to watch it. If you own old movie reels and can’t watch them, the best way to take a step back in time to the 20 century is to convert reels to digital and enjoy them on a 21t century format. 

Magnetic tape wears down and fades with time and the chance of finding a working reel to reel tape deck to play old audio reels is even less likely than a projector. Most are owned by audiophiles that covet them as collectibles, while other decks have been stored for so long in dark corners of basements, they no longer play or will damage reels if they do. To recapture audio memories, your best bet is to convert reel to reel to digital.
