In my case this is the third bout. :( The first one was in Russia, where I dreamed, designed and built R2R's... Then, after coming here, I was able to afford some nice machines, until realizing there was no good material available for them.

And now... with all the good pre-recorded tapes available it just behooves one to get sick again. :)

BTW, my new Tandberg 11 just arrived, and I am already enjoying it!

Yup.
Your growing collection of portables put me to mind of both Frank Zappa and of my son. The latter is a big, big fan of the former and a big, big fan of photography (particularly using film) and of fine old cameras and optics -- and a mathematics professor on the side :)
He can somehow bring all of those into focus -- the photo from his 'maths prof' website put me to mind of your collection (or maybe vice versa ).
At any rate, you've given me an excuse to post this photo -- and to brag a bit about my son, of whom I (we... Mrs. H and I both) are most proud :)
Thanks for your indulgence.

all the best,
mrh

  You have good reason to be proud!
  Am I correct, that the middle photo is reversed? Nice little portable, there is some family resemblance with my Watergate machine - pictured.
  If anyone could name that model in Zappa's picture, I will be on a lookout for it. It is so much easier to move these portables around, compared to 80lb machines. :)

    I do know it is a Sony; I think the hive mind that is the internet has sussed it out.
    
    all the best,
