<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning Christopher and all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the mid-2000s we had our existing 2 such Infonics reel to reel units (previously used for dumping 4 tracks from two 2-track reel masters simultaneously to 4-track cassette submaster) converted for use in digitization. We also purchased
a single unit designed to work with 4-track reel masters as our decades old reel master collection had a mix of both 2-track and 4-track reel masters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Several years ago we lost touch with Dave at Infonics and were unable to locate him for needed maintenance of these machines.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So we began refurbishing the couple of remaining old Otari reel-to-reel units I had kept from back when we were recording and reviewing analog. We had surplused most of our then 6 Otari reel units as we shifted to recording digitally. So
we had the 2 or so remaining Otaris maintenance and also purchased 1 “new” and 1 refurbished Otari.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is these 4 Otari units that we now use for the bulk of our analog to digital conversions / digitizations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Infonics units worked well for us for a very long time but when we finally realized we wouldn’t be able to have their creator, Dave, work on them, we decided to surplus them and rely upon the Otaris.
