My little tape recorder had a non-standard speed of 4ips and also had

worked at IBM and he used to get it for me.
There was one from Shoppertunities? which had no capstan so ran at a
different speed depending on where the tape was on the reel...
What about the one which somehow took its drive from a record
player? I'm sure I didn't imagine it, but can't find any details
right now.
