re: 4. I worked and lived with a blind woman who'd gone to university in the 70s. She had so many tape recorders! There were the players loaned out by the Library of Congress National Library Service (for the print-impaired), and then for both reel to reel and cassette she had personal equipment as well (and the Talking Book players for the disposable books on floppy plastic records.)

My father had a tiny reel-to-reel player--perhaps it was for dictation?--up in the attic. I was fascinated by it. Something like this TK-1 Grundig, with 3in reels
