Nice reels!
I recently acquired the RTM NAB 1/4" empty reel, and the level of craftsmanship is exceptional. As someone who values both performance and aesthetics in tape recording, this reel delivers on every front.
Metal Finish & Surface Treatment: The anodized finish is flawless. It has a rich, uniform sheen that not only looks stunning on the deck but also offers great resistance to fingerprints and minor scuffs. The color consistency across the entire surface is top-tier.
Flawless Geometry: The reel runs perfectly true with zero wobble or deformation. The tape guides smoothly onto the hub without any scraping against the flanges, ensuring smooth transport and protecting delicate tape edges during high-speed fast-forward or rewind cycles.
Machining & Edge Processing: The CNC machining and edge processing are superb. Every cutout and ventilation hole is smoothly finished—no burrs, sharp edges, or rough spots anywhere. Handling the reel feels safe and refined.
Build Quality & Stability: The flange-to-hub mounting is rock solid, held together with high-grade hardware that keeps everything perfectly aligned under tension.
RTM has set a benchmark here. If you are looking for a studio-grade, visually striking, and mechanically precise NAB reel for your 1/4" tape setup, this is as good as it gets. Highly recommended!

Good product
Good looking, well balanced, solid aluminium reel. A little pricey.

RTM Aluminum Reel
Great quality. They could have put a RTM brand sticker on it though.
