Blinking nora boxer, that's a bit extreme isn't it?
I seem to think we did all this sometime ago: Just watching the reels go round is therapeutic.
I probably listen to about half an hour of a 2 hour show each day whilst I'm checking emails and reading the papers and snail mail, it just seems very convenient to go right from where I started on the tape, with one click, without involving a PC or a Squeezebox.
Anyway, it's in limbo at the moment, as it stopped dead a week or so back: The Revox specialist lives outside Ipswich and I don't fancy the drive. This may be the point that I pack it in, especially as I can now get the show on BBCiplayer anytime for a week after.
N.B. I should point out that I didn't get it just to time shift broadcasts, I got it to record my guitar playing, but a problem and subsequent operation on my left hand put paid to that.
