if we include cassette machines?
circa 1966, a Philips portable cassette deck. As a teenager I used it for mischievous things.
Circa 1970. A Sony TC127 Cassette deck for my humble stereo. (it eventually died)
After that....a Dual C-939 Cassette deck with auto-reverse. (it suffered a fate no better)
R2R:
The Otari MX-5050 BII 2 (I'll get it working one of these days)
Revox A77 (hasn't caught fire yet!)(but it isn't working anyway)
It's mostly Lps over here, but I have a modest collection of commercial tapes, almost all exclusively 7-1/2ips 4-tracks. And one odd-ball 2-track.

  Right you are. I think what I need to get the ball rolling is to put together a kit tape head preamp. When I have the promise of having as good a signal chain as my vinyl rig, then I'll get to it.
  
  Adding to that list...about 20 items in front of it.
  
  sigh. ;-)

    If you get the tape head preamp, you'll have to mod the Otari to allow for direct tape head output.
    
    It's well worth doing :-)
