Pioneer RT 707

[PeterBee]

What type and speed of pre recorded reel to reel tapes can I play on my RT 707 ?

This page has the specs for that player -- https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/pioneer/rt-707.shtml
4 track 2 channel stereo either 3 3⁄4 OR 7 1⁄2 ips tapes. It looks like it can play a double sided tape without flipping (kind of like the equivalent of an open-reel cassette tape).

I still have one of those. 7" reel, either 1200' or 1600' (1200' preferred as it's thicker). The auto reverse function requires that a small piece of foil tape be applied to the playing side of the tape at the point you wish it to reverse.
