A nice classic little Claricon (made by Hitachi) 3-inch reel to reel tape recorder. It runs at approx. 7 1/2 IPS (19 cm/s). DC bias, permanent magnet erasure. Manual level control. Transistors are germanium. If you request, I may make a video showing the inside. Anyone that thinks these little rim-drive type of recorders are worthless and should be thrown away is wrong. These little recorders are really fun to collect and play with. I recommend that now one throws these away or breaks them. They are collectible, fun pieces, no longer manufactured.
