It had been used for audio letters during Vietnam.

Well, most garage sales I encounter just have a bunch of clothes and toys and stuff like that! This one, I asked the person if they had any tape recorders, in which she went in the house to retrieve this machine!

Nice machine. Early Sony's were always good quality products. Do you live in Tape Recorder Heaven USA? Gosh, you find all these neat machines at yards sales! I go and never find anything! You must live a charmed life, and the Tape Recorder god has smiled upon you!

These little reel to reel recorders are how service men used to send messages back home while they were stationed overseas

The recording does add a hum on the reel-to-reel.

The recording quality of your camera is pretty limited, but is it just me or does this machine sound pretty good?

This reel-to-reel is 2-speed, 1 7/8 and 3 3/4 IPS. I never tried radio recording on THIS recorder but I do record off the radio a LOT!

Hello. It is me again, hwo asked about the age. Do you use it to record from radio? I do. Becouse the sound is better.
Im an icelandic and when I got it from my grandfather I got a lot of Old radio shows from the 60s.
Mine have three speeds. How many have yours?

I have one like this, but it is not Sony. Mine is from 1959. How old is yours?

My first really serious reel to reel was a Sony TC-200, it was a hybrid, tube and transistor. You have found some great stuff.

I think some might still make them, like Nagra, but are expensive.

Are there any manufacturers of reel to reel recorders left? or is the only way you can get them is either ebay, or yard/garage sales?
