Default Re: Will these old tapes be playable?

re: Grundig TK5, they are hard work mostly due to numerous Wima paper caps that fail and some are tucked into quite difficult to access areas.
As others have suggested there are plenty of reel to reel machines that are much easier to work with. The Grundig TK14 is quite a good one, a more modern (mid 60's) design - mostly on one easily accessed PCB, and only two valves + magic eye.
