Those little reel-to-reel machines are something I have a soft spot for. Alas I don't have that one or any information on it.

Does it have a capstan and pinch roller, or does it just drive the spools? A few very low-end machines did the latter, the tape speed is therefore not constant.

If it has a capstan, you might find a removeable sleeve (either on the capstan or stored, say, under the head cover) to give 2 tape speeds. A lot of such machines did 1+7/8 and 3+3/4 ips
