General:

One of the best looking reel to reel machines out there and the last model that Tandberg made that's full of all the improvements and upgrades they achieved over time. 

Easy to use and perfect for a high-end residential stereo system.

This Reel to Reel operates as it should throughout with strong drive motor speed and responsiveness, along with quick and persistent engagement of the heads and capstans.

The meters are responsive and well lit, and all of the potentiometers are free from any noise or scratchiness.  

This particular unit was serviced some time ago (15 years) and then stored/not used (until now) had its transport mechanism cleaned and lubricated in house and is now functioning as it should.

Included with your purchase is the reel to reel machine, two reel adaptors, one take up reels, the Tandberg specific power cord, and the owner's manual.

This is 1/4 track (quarter-track) machine capable of recording and playing back two tracks on each side of the tape.
