Step 2: Determining the cost.

Determining the cost can be confusing, but it does not have to be. Here is how it works:

We primarily charge by the size of the reel. But because reel to reel tapes came in different thicknesses, and because they can be recorded at different speeds utilizing separate tracks, not every tape yields the same amount of audio. One 7" reel could produce 45 minutes of audio while another could produce three hours! Big difference. So the way our pricing handles these different situations is, we charge the base price according to the size of reel and then $5 for each extra CD needed to complete the transfer of your tape. Keep in mind a CD will only hold 80 minutes of audio. So, one 7" reel with 45 minutes of audio will cost the base price plus return shipping. A 7" reel with 90 minutes of audio would cost the base price plus $5 and return shipping. Smaller 3" and 4" tapes will usually be just their base price.

Other things to consider: photo labels and duplicate CDs wanted for your family and friends. Also, on rare occasions with high end tape recorded in the late 70's and 80's something called "sticky shed syndrome" could call for your tapes needing "baked". We do bake tapes for $25 each. (Bulk discounts available, just ask).

If you are afraid of sticker shock and are not sure how much audio your tapes hold, or if other factors might be involved, we do offer free analysis. This allows us to check them out and report back to you the cost before doing the work. If you find it is more costly than you had hoped we can hold off on the work and send your tapes back.

We even offer free screening for content! This means if you are not sure what is on your tapes or you only want for example only tapes with family talking but no tapes with music, we can do that at not extra cost!
