Found this Sony tape recorder at an estate sale with a box full of tapes.
Didn't pay much attention to the tapes until today and discovered they are recordings of Apollo & Gemini space missions, discussions on Vietnam, etc.
Jimmy Carter is in the machine giving a speech on energy.
Player took a crap after I did some rewinding I'll have to check out what's going on with it before I can do more listening.

Maybe it was Jimmy Carter who took the crap."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"

That's cool, hope you get it working again.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

What's the model number of the Sony? It's not one I recognize right off the bat.
Are those all 5 inch reels (probably 600 or 900 foot tapes)?
I reckon that its rubber parts need refreshing (possibly replacement), although it could be as simple as needing a good CLA (cleaning, lubrication, adjustment).
The single-motor Sony decks are reasonably straightforward as such things go
The motor run capacitors sometimes bite the dust on old tape decks.

Oh, I looked at the full sized photo -- looks like a 3" reel tape recorder(??).
Looks like it might be the "model 905A" shown in this ad (??) -- number 5.
