Selection of traditional metal 1/2" audio tape recorder spools -different sizes

These aluminium metal spools are becoming vanishingly rare. They're actually more easy to damage by careless handling than the much more common plastic spools. Gripping the edges too hard so that the circumferences pinch together can permanently buckle them causing them to squeal & scrape against the tape or even jam. The top right one is actually a plastic spool sprayed with aluminium paint. We can supply these either with tape wound on or empty. Sizes shown are 4.75", 7" & 8.25". We have many more of the professional 10.5" metal NAB spools which have their own entry on our site.
