This vintage Aiwa portable reel-to-reel tape recorder, model TP-32A, is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast. With both reel wheels spinning, this item is sure to bring back memories of a bygone era of audio recording technology. It is perfect for those who appreciate the warm, authentic sound of reel-to-reel tape. This tape recorder is sold as is. I placed batteries into the unit, and both wheels spin and are operable. I couldn't hear any sound, so I was unsure how good the speakers were, and the headphones weren't picking up and thinking, so the reel with tape I have may be blank. Please see the photos and ask questions prior to purchasing. Get your hands on this piece of history today!
