## Long description

Recording The Masters Trident plastic reel for 1/4" (0.25") magnetic tape with a 10.5" diameter is a lightweight and durable reel designed for use on reel-to-reel tape machines. The Trident design offers stable winding and support for analogue tape during playback, recording, storage and transport, helping to maintain tape flatness and organization. Manufactured in injection-molded plastic, this reel is intended as a practical replacement or spare for archivists, studios and hobbyists working with 1/4" tape.
Advantages
The plastic construction provides a balance of low weight and strength, reducing strain on tape machine spindles while remaining resistant to corrosion. The 10.5" diameter accommodates standard 1/4" tape lengths used in professional and consumer applications, and the Trident hub geometry helps center the tape and prevent wobble during rotation. As a dedicated reel for 1/4" tape, it simplifies handling, storage and transport of magnetic tape reels.
Suitable for
Archiving analogue 1/4" magnetic tape
Playback and recording on reel-to-reel machines compatible with 10.5" reels
Collecting, storing and transporting spare tape reels
Studio and home audio restoration projects
Key specifications
Reel diameter: 10.5 inches
Compatible tape width: 1/4" (0.25 inches)
Material: injection-molded plastic
Design: Trident hub geometry for centering and stability
Weight: lightweight construction for reduced spindle load
How to use
Mount the reel on the supply or take-up spindle of a reel-to-reel tape machine ensuring the hub seats securely on the spindle. Thread the tape leader or tape end across the capstan/pinch roller path as required by your machine, then attach to the opposite reel or machine take-up hub. Wind a few turns by hand to confirm the tape is centered and tensioned evenly before starting the transport mechanism. For storage, fully wind the tape to the reel and secure the leader to prevent unwinding.
Usage recommendations
Store reels in a cool, dry environment away from strong magnetic fields and direct sunlight. Avoid dropping or striking the reel to prevent deformation that could affect tape alignment. Clean spindles and hubs on tape machines regularly to maintain proper seating and reduce wear.
