That would be a minimum $1000 charge for the work if it were subcontracted out, not the capital cost.
But if you just want a tape converted to digital without regard to quality it can probably be much less if there is no EQ, no level setting, no editing, no listening and if the studio can use an intern to do the actual work of swapping reels and pushing buttons. I've seen 150 reels transferred to digital and put on a hard drive for 1000 Euro's total. The tapes were in Germany and so this work had to be done there. My only role was to evaluate a few sample files from two different studios for sound quality. I did this blind without knowing the names of the studios or the pricing or equipment. As it turned out the low bidder produced the best sound quality and the overall quality was excellent. The high priced studio used name brand gear, but the sound quality was not so good, probably due to equipment maintenance and setup, so I won't cast any aspersions as to the quality of the gear, which I eventually discovered, only to say that I wouldn't buy this company's products despite their esteemed name in pro audio circles.
I can't comment on the music "business". For me, music is art and love, not business. IMO if this "business" ceased to exist, music and real musicians would probably end up better off. However, even those musicians who have sold out for money aren't as bad as the scum middlemen who end up exploiting them. Just saying...
