I bought these red reels from a seller in South Africa and compared to a well-kept example (the silver one on the left) they are pretty rough. I have managed to clean them up and salvage them, fortunately. The recordings are actually very cool - they are old field recordings of birds and insects.

What is really cool is that the recordings are very high quality, with only a few spots with mic noise or wind noise. There is no urban noise at all, including low frequencies from cars or airplanes. I wonder what’s on the others. I wonder if Merlin can ID the birds…
