If you have a Revox, Tascam, Ferrograph or even a Tandberg, or any other good reel to reel tape machine, rotting away in a cupboard please give it a new life. We are working on archiving 120,000 library tapes currently held in the Radio Mogadishu library. Your contribution will help more good come to this war torn country ! We curently have 2 machines working 12 to 14 hours a day, but we need more. Also if you have any spares in your workshop for any of the usual professional reel to reel machines we would welcome them too. If you have it, we will ship it at no cost to you.Thanks to Liam at P Squared for offering to co ordinate the shipment and for letting us make this appeal. If you'd like any more info please get in touch.

One of our customers is setting up an operation in Mogadishu and is on the look out for some old reel to reel tape machines to allow them to recover archived material.

If you have an old reel to reel machine that you don't use and you would be willing to donate to a worthy cause then please contact us at P Squared and we will put you in contact with them.

Thanks
