I know there is the "cool" factor - the visual aesthetics - and I am certainly not immune to that. I've search here and other sites without finding any compelling practical reasons. Plastic Reels:Pros: Significantly lower cost, low maintenence, not easily marred or blemished. Much harder to deform. Much lighter in weight so they require less torque to move thus [theoretically] extend the longevity of your decks motors.Cons: Almost always solid piece. Cannot be disassembled which is useful for loading pancakes. Metal Reels:Pros: Much more rugged and durable. Can be taken apart to clean and load pancakes.Cons: Significantly more expensive than plastic reels. Once bent or deformed, straightening them is virtually impossible. Much higher maintenance and easy to stain, tarnish, and blemish. Tape pack only viewable through windage cutouts. Heavier. Thus requiring more effort on the part of your deck to driveDoesn't work with the TEAC Nab adapter ! Buy the black one if you have a TEAC NAB adapter! NEW Royal Blue NAB Plastic Take Up for 1/4" Reel to Reel Tape 10.5" . This is a hard plastic reel used to store play or record with 1/4" reel to reel tape.

They may not click when you clamp them down with your NAB lock down hubs but rest assured they will clamp down properly as we use them daily with no issues on our tape decks. Though we have found that they will NOT work with the TEAC Nab adapter according to one customer Another customer states It does not work with teac, akai or pioneer nab adapters and it will not even lock down the reel with the teac adapters. If you want perfection buy a brand new metal reel.Please note that the center hub of these plastic reels are thicker than your standard metal reel. They may not click when you clamp them down with your NAB lock down hubs but rest assured they will clamp down properly as we use them daily with no issues on our tape decks. Greetings Cheap, I've purchased a few of these plastic take up reels from you before. I just wanted to let you know that I have a Teac X-2000R and X-1000R and so far, they seem to work very well. The trick is however, if your deck is using the TZ-612 Nab adapters, there is a metal clip on the bottom of these adapters. You can remove that clip and this will allow the plastic reel to lock flush on the adapter. I've tried it on both of my Teac decks and I've had no problems so far......Just thought I would pass that on to you and I look forward to purchasing more from you in the future....Thanks, New message from: heebee61 (100) Greetings Cheap, I've purchased a few of these plastic take up reels from you before.
