	The best thing I could suggest is to locate a reel-to-reel recorder.
(don't go looking for a new one -- you likely can't afford it)  Since most of
the units I've ever used aren't polarized with regard to the direction the 
tape is threaded, you'll have no problem running things backwards.  If you're
as mechanically adept as I, you will likely do so setting the unit up!

	A good quality reel-to-reel may be purchased used for $200-300.  If the
musician pawning it was hungry enough, it may be had more cheaply than that.
