[78-L] Playing reels backwards -PS

[Joe Salerno]

I do recall seeing someone do that back in the day. I thought he was 
playing them just a tiny bit out of sync. Slower speed hadn't occurred 
to me, and it wasn't explained to me that way, but the explainer, the 
aforementioned sister from the previous post who was working at the 
college radio station, was not so tech savvy. I remember 2 turntables 
and copies in use.
