Default Re: Sony TC-200 tape recorder

No experience on that model but it looks like a nice stereo deck from the '60's. If it powers up without blowing any fuses, I'd be inclined to leave it running for an hour or so and check for any unusual burning smells or noises. If it's still running after an hour, clean the heads, check that controls operate the reels (belts may have deteriorated) load up a tape, and tell us what you find on the tapes
