I know absolutely nothing about tape units (reel to reel).

The in a garage I picked up two tape units. Was told one was working and
one was parts.

Do these things have any use or value to anyone?

Or do I just have a heavy boat anchor?

These look like store music playback machines, 10 1/2" reel capacity. The
reel spindle hubs, might fetch 20 - 30 bux per pair on the 'bay. Otherwise,
these are pretty much big boat anchors.

Tom
