Grundig TK 1 Tape Recorder (1961)
This short video on a 1961 Grundig TK 1 reel to reel portable tape recorder did not end well. Sometimes you simply have to consider if the effort involved is worth the dubious outcome. In this case the internal drive rubbers were completely shot and the electronics were also not working. It was interesting to explore the machine but in this case I just had to walk away. Take care David
