Yeah, that could be a problem, because you’re gonna have to get someone who’s so much of a fanatic for Dylan that it won’t matter if they can’t play the tape without a reel machine. Have you tried Dylan-only forums or Dylan collectors on reddit? Not necessarily to sell, but to have them point you in a direction?

Also, you may want to look here for a reference on price.

Unless there’s something extra special about the reel, I wouldn’t expect all that much. In other words, don’t expect a lot just because it’s on a reel. I’ve got a local friend who has a collectors fantasy about 8-Tracks and they sit in a room basically unsold.

I want to add that tape from ‘64 will practically be unplayable unless someone knows what procedure to go thru for it to be transferred (baking it, for instance), so, if you have some rare recording of some live thing he did back in ‘64, then you have to keep that in mind too.
