Capital AudioFest 2011

Ken Swauger runs a Baltimore-based company called TapePath (www.tapepath.com) that specializes in restoring classic open-reel tape recorders, especially ReVox A77s. Ken is shown here in the vestibule to the Polk room, holding a baggie with all the parts from an A77 that he replaces and upgrades. I still have an A77 in storage—perhaps I'll send it to Ken to have it brought back from the dead!
