Special Annoucement


After careful consideration, Reel Resilience will be ceasing the service and repair of all tape based recorders from the end of December 2025.

With Christmas shut down this end date is effectively the 19th December 2025.

The reason is to focus on other offerings to the reel-to-reel fraternity, such as education and training.

We will continue to offer sales of tape, accessories and machine spares into 2026.
