I have my step-father's old TEAC reel-to-reel. The last time I used it, ten years or so ago, it was troublesome but ultimately working well enough to digitally transfer his tapes to MP3 files.  I'd be willing to give it a try as well.

Are there any Coco list members who could check these to see if they have any audio data?  I’d be happy to pay for shipping both ways, and some money for your efforts.  If there is audio, I would also like to have it transferred to CD or flash drive so we can listen to anything he may have recorded.  Please let me know if anyone might want to tackle this for me.
