Any reel to reel fans/users?

[KevanGuy]

My parents are moving and were going to throw out their old reel to reel, a Revox B77 MKII. It had been in use until a couple years ago and as far as I know it still works. Just wondering if anyone here uses one to record or playback music? And any recommendations on where I could take it to have it cleaned/serviced/looked at? If I think I'll use it I'll keep it but I may put it up for sale or trade if anyone is interested.

i like to move it?

on no wait, not that real to real.......nm

from an aesthetic POV these gadgets are cool, but a few years back I ditched all my cassettes, so I am a long way removed from these things....

I'm going through the same dilemma. My grandmother wants us to take hers because everyone knows my husband's still an analog boy, but we have enough archaic analog equipment we never touch. I am talking all the vinyl, though. I remember the sound quality being pretty good. Can you even get blank reels anymore? I guess it would increase our hipster cred, not that we need much help in that area.

Thanks for the responses, I was hoping to hear from some musicians that might still use reel to reel for a vintage type sound. Guess it is probably not worth figuring it all out.
