NATIONAL UP-DOWN Open Reel Player RQ-502

NATIONAL UP-DOWN Open Reel Player

This item was found at my aunt's house.
It was also discovered in a storage room.
It came in a simple, dedicated vinyl case,
but the nylon part of the case had become stuck.
Please refer to the last three images.
I confirmed that it works and can play tapes.
I have since rewound it.
I'm not sure about the speed or other functions,
but I was surprised it could play at all, given its age.
The tape contained a recording of an old NHK or similar music program.
The tape will be included as is.

I have not opened the three sections on the back that you press to open.
In fact, I couldn't figure out how to open them.
I did not try to force them open, so please do so yourself.
Please understand that I have not tested all functions.

To avoid any future issues, I am listing this as a junk item.
I ask that only those who are comfortable with this arrangement purchase it.
Please refrain from buying if you are concerned about details or seek perfection.
I ask for your understanding as this is a used item.
