Default Stellaphone ST458

Howdy,

I've found a Stellaphone ST458, along with a few tapes. As I'm a composer, understandably I was very excited to find this old tape recorder. Unfortunately, after I plug it in, nothing happens. It appears that the machine isn't receiving any power through the mains.

I've checked and it appears that the belts are in place and have not turned into goo. The only belt that appears to be missing is the one that attaches to the time counter (is this one necessary?).

The plug is one of those two pronged shaving plugs, which then plugs into an adaptor. The adaptor has been tested and works on other devices.

I read somewhere that there should be a fuse somewhere in the machine, but could not locate it.

If anyone has any ideas about what might be wronged that would be super!
