Open reel tape recorders predated the cassette recorder as a medium for recording voice and music onto magnetic tape stored on reels. They were used in the home and studio as the quality of the recording was only ever reached by digital recorders, which caused their demise in the late 1990s.

The open reel tape recorders here are a small selection of our prop hire stock and, apart from the Brennell, are all suitable for domestic scenes. Please contact us for more details on the correct prop for the scene.
