I just got rid of my old Sony DAT that was broken. I have dozens of tapes that I haven't listened to in years. I ripped a bunch of records, made a Christmas music tape for the holidays. IIRC, you could set it to 2 -4 - 6 hour mode. I made the Christmas tape out of all my CD's, and LP's. It was 4 hours long IIRC.
If that will play my tapes, I would be interested in it. I'll take a pic of one of them when I find them, they are boxed away right now.
I recently got rid of my Sony DAT, Sony high end VHS, and my ART Mach II. :( It killed me to do it, but they were all broken. I paid $700 for that Sony VHS. :( About the same for the ART Mach II. There is an electronics recycling place in Des Moines. I took a ton of stuff there. I can't believe I did this, but I gave them my previous DAW with my EMU-0404 card in it, a Bose Wave radio that got fried by lightning, and a Sony PS3 with the infamous Yellow Light Of Death AKA YLOD. The DAW worked fine, it was just slow and old.
What the heck was I going to do with it ya know? I kept that stuff for, well, some of it, 25 years. I never wanted it to go in a landfill so I think the recycling place was a fitting end to it all.
