Ran into this in an antique store I'd not been in before. I've wanted one (a rtr in general) , but wasn't really looking for one due to cost and upkeep factor.
It came with the reel and actually plays still. I can tell everything needs a good cleaning and Lube. The venere needs replacing on the bottom as well.

Very nice find. I would love to find a RTR cheap. I just want one for display purposes because the last thing I need is another format to listen to music.

Totally understand! I'll have to find someone fairly close to get this restored at some point though, because I'd love to use it from time to time. -
Can you take a picture of the power selector next to the power cord and post it here? I just bought one of these and the sticker that shows the voltages fell off... I nearly stroked out. So now I have no idea where to plug the selector in for 110v... Lord have mercy.

Here's a section of the owners manual found on HiFi Engine:
You'll want to connect so the selection at the 3:00 position is made, sorry it's not a clearer image. Maybe if you could post a photo of the selector?
