How to play

   Big Heart fan and wondered how I could ( or maybe I can’t ) play an Abbey Rd Master Tape. It’s Sony 1610/1630. PQ encoded and some. 30 plus years old . Would it just be for  memorabilia or might it be playable with right equipment. There are several for sale  on a certain site and am sorely tempted 
Hoping you can advise

	I'm guessing you're going to need some specialised equipment to play it on, this site might be useful. https://www.vintagedigital.com.au/sony-pcm-1630-audio-processor/#:~:text=The%20Sony%20PCM%2D1630%20is,PCM%20recording%20and%20playback%20system.
