This is a SONY No. 5 open reel tape recorder. Model number: TC-222. It's a product from over 50 years ago, and it was found unopened in moving boxes during a relocation. I was skeptical about whether it would work, butさすがSONY, it works except for fast-forward. The appearance is also beautiful, considering it's over 50 years old. (Please check the photos) This time, to check the recording content of the No. 5 open reel tapes that came with it and to dub them, I connected it to the TV via the monitor output and a dubbing unit, and the sound was surprisingly good. ★ However, fast-forward does not work. Purchased around 1969. ★ Since there is no instruction manual, I have quoted the description from another seller. 1) The tape speed is 9.5/4.8 cm/sec in two stages, which can be easily changed with a switch. It supports both 50/60Hz with a DC motor. 2) Equipped with the "SONY-O-MATIC" function, it automatically adjusts the recording level. 3) Recording/playback, counter, VU meter, etc. are functioning. ★ The VU meter moves with voltage, but the recording level function is not observed (it is unclear whether it exists). Recording is confirmed for MIC and AUX IN inputs. The input jack is 3.5mm. 4) The main unit size is width 295 x depth 302 x height 118mm, and the weight is about 4kg. 5) Power supply is AC100V, and it can also use 4 size-D batteries. ★ There is no rust inside the battery box. ★ The operation handle is loose and comes off when pulled up. Accessories ① Power cord ② Dedicated microphone ③ No. 5 open reel tape for monitoring, 1 piece It has been repaired in two places. One side has a recording of an NHK news program (microphone). ④ Empty reel, 1 piece ★ There is no instruction manual. I will send it via Yu-Pack 100 size of Yu-Yu Mercari. (20251130)
