The drive has one big problem. One is that there are no components in the bays

at the bottom of the cabinet in the first shot. It will be a display piece, not
a useful drive.
The reels are probably 14" and hold 3600' of tape or more. Depends on whether
the
drive was ever adjusted to handle thin stock. At least there is a sample of
tape on
the drive so you can see what to do with it.
The drive may function and move tape by itself, but without the record and
reproduce
amps, it will not be too much interest, unless you want to try to build your
own.
