Turns on and seems functional per the video you can see. Have not tried any reels or tapes as honestly i have no idea what im doing. Saved from home clearance. The plug is functional but the prongs are a bit wobbly but it does turn on as per video. Has wear for its age, wooden box a bit beat but im amazed its all functional for its age. Box of tapes has all sorts of sizes, no idea whats on them, you might find a bit of history lol. Please review photos and video and if you want any more pics message me. Cheers!
