How do I contact Rick or search for a deal I saw on one of his old columns?

Thanks,

by ringabell November 15, 2009 10:29 AM PST: Have you any suggestion how we can find a decent reel to reel tape player? We just discovered that a cousin has 4 large tapes recorded by my grandfather many years ago. He was speaking about his life and we all want to hear about it. After we hear what he has said we will probably want to put it all on CD's or DVD's or whatever is the most up to date and best way to keep it for the family. We don't want to spend a lot on the tape player. We have no idea what we will find--how well the tapes stood up to the test of time. Any suggestions?
I checked out ebay, but what they have is in poor condition. Other places had fixed up machines at very high prices. Any suggestions?
