I did the same on my BR-20 when transferring some old 3" half track tapes of dad's. Sure, they would have been standard play or long play, originally played on a Ferrograph 2, and the BR-20 was about the pinnacle of development of this tech (only discontinued in 2004) but one was acetate and they were irreplaceable family recordings!
