Thanks guys,
I get it now. So basically if the same album was on 2 and on 4 track tape, the 2 would inherently be twice the size. This is a good thing right? I can't wait to finally get this thing going. My investment into it so far is nothing so even if I have to take it in I am still doing ok. It should work well though, my buddy took good care of it and rarely used it. I'll keep you posted.
adios, beat
