Vintage RCA 2 Speed Reel To Reel Push Button Tape Recorder Model No. SRT-401

**** This unit isn't fully functional - It's being sold for "Parts or Repair" - "As-Is" - "As-Shown" - No Returns or Refunds ****

All of the knobs turn freely and the buttons work with no issues.

I plugged the unit in and it powered up but the reel spindles and pinch roller didn't spin. The power cord sheathing is very brittle and cracked and it will defiantly need to be replaced but I didn't see any exposed bare wires - See last picture. 

I opened up the unit and found that one of the four vacuum tubes doesn't light up. It's #5879 which sells for under $15. Even if I replaced the vacuum tube I still wouldn't have a way of testing this unit because I don't have any tapes or pickup reels for it. I can't guarantee that the malfunctioning vacuum tube is the only issue.

The video is of me spinning the fan manually to verify that the motor spins freely and that the other parts spin freely with the belt connected to the motor - Watch the video. 

The head unit needs cleaning. The head unit light does work.

Both of the plastic covers for the head unit and push buttons are cracked - See pictures.

The case is a dark emerald green in color with two white bands. It will need some cleaning. There is some tears in the fabric on the corners - See pictures

=== Due to the size and weight of this item I will be shipping it via UPS Ground or FedEx Ground - No PO Boxes Please ===

I will do my absolute best to pack your item to prevent any damage to it during the shipping process. UPS & FedEx is very rough on handling packages. If your item arrives damaged that was caused by the shipping company you as a buyer will be required to file a claim with the shipping company and leave the item in the original packaging so UPS or FedEx can come to your address to inspect the damages. This is an unfortunate requirement, but must be agreed on by the buyer when purchasing this item.
