Depends on the type of tape machine.
These platters are readily available for Studer, Revox and Telefunken
machines.
For other tape machines, some hardware work may be needed (drilling
holes...).

European studio reels are 300mm (12"), but that may be too wide?
There are also 10,5" versions (e.g. for Revox). 
Regularly sold on www.ebay.de (German site).

Cheers,
Jos

Hi Folks,

Seeing all the recent messages about European and German tape and machines
has reminded me to ask if anyone sells or has plans for making an adapter
for the European tape hub (with the curved rectangular center) so the hubs
can be mounted on a U. S. machine for playback or winding. I have some
really full 11-inch hubs and find that hand-held winding gets very old very
fast.

Thanks, Richard
