Does it record? Does it play back? If so, it is a good machine. It's possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

It's junk... Better send it to me so I can dispose of it properly.

I may be time to put reel to reels out to pasture.
I get much better sound recording on my HiFi VCR, than I got on my Teac 3440 running at 15ips. The VCR is much cheaper and takes up much less space. Biggest improvement noticed on acoustic guitar no flutter, no tape hiss, more headroom. Go figure!!
