Vintage Sony Tapecorder 262 Portable Reel-to-Reel Tape Recorder – this is a classic old machine, the cosmetic shape is quite good for its age, as shown in the photos. Holds 7” or smaller reels (comes with one empty reel 7” reel) Power cord is included, however the socket to connect the cord is missing one of the pins so I was unable to test it at this time. It may work just fine, but it is untested. Has sturdy cover and carrying handle. Dimensions are 13 ½” x 10 ¾” x 7 ½”, weighs 24 lbs.

This is a classic vintage tape deck with built-in speakers, removable cover and carrying handle.  It is in good shape with average wear and tear for it’s age.  It has been tested and works as it should, except for a “hum” in the background during play – which means it probably needs a capacitor.  Can be played standing or on it’s back  lying down – all the rubber feet are intact.
