A radio station just might have something kicking around that will play it.
Call and ask for the Production Manager.

I work at a state agency that defends death row inmates. One of our cases
involves a police broadcast tape from the early-mid 1980s. It logs a 12-
or 24-hour period of police-band communications, on 12 or 16 separate
tracks (separate broadcast channels?). It is vital that we find out what
is on this tape. However, it is an old-fashioned reel-to-reel tape, and
we have no way of listening to it. The tape box is 11" x 11" x 1.5"
thick, and it says, "Magnasync/Moviola Corporation -- Logging Audio
Communications Tape". Does anybody out there know how we can find or
modify equipment that will enable us to listen to this tape? The magnetic
tape itself is very wide -- as wide or wider than a regular VHS video
tape. This is a capital case, and any help you can offer would be greatly
appreciated.
