The Bernalillo county sheriff's comm center has not thrown away its previous logging recorder equipment, so they can continue to play back old recordings. In this case, they have a TEAC recorder that uses VHS videotapes connected to an cassette recorder. They have scores of VHS tapes still on the shelf. They also have an ancient reel-to-reel recorder, and a few reel tapes. The new digital recorder is to the left in this photo.
