We are all experts in certain areas, if this is not an area of your expertise I would suggest taking the reel to reels to a professional that does video transfers for a living (I.E. broadcast quality transfering equipment) and let them do it, it will probably turn out better anyway and be less of a hassle for you.
my 2 cents worth
What part of "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." do you not understand?
