Yes, but I still want to power it up as I don't want to sell anything DOA. I am spinning vinyl at the local bar Thursday, and finishing up processing deer, after that I will make sure it powers up, check to see if the reels would turn and if not if it is belt or direct drive, I know less than little about R2R's, heck I don't even know how to thread the tape, I just can't stand to see one go to the dump when it might be repairable.
