Hovering around the 80 mark but less than a year on the Internet I was delighted to find your extraordinary site yesterday afternoon, spending much of the day with you - however, as seems to be so with much elderly recording playback, the intermittent 'break-up', regular fractional break or whatever they're called soon makes it difficult to concentrate. Is there no way around this, or is REAL at fault? I have a number of fingers crossed for something positive.
