Chaplin's Wikipedia entry

It's possible that Chaplin had no interest in the technology, but then
again, he was an industry professional (and an incredibly wealthy one, at
that), so it seems possible that he could easily afford and even have access
to the latest technology and films/TV programs. Of course, until someone who
visited Chaplin's home or something speaks up, we can only guess. Even if
the Hill tapes weren't readily available for the consumer market, I'm sure
Chaplin could have gotten copies if he was interested enough. Considering
that he was still heavily involved with film scoring up through 1976, would
tape dubs of the films have been used for reference in timing out the
scores?

There's footage I've seen (I forget where now) of Chaplin(it seems like it
was during an interview session) listening to a recording on a reel-to-reel
audio tape player set up in his home.
