Not exactly a radio, but maybe you guys can help me out anyway.

A few years ago I purchased a vintage reel-to-reel portable recorder from a second hand store for $40. It is in working condition and came with the tape, which has what sounds like a two person comedy show or play of some kind - with English accents so perhaps the model is from the UK?

I want to know what year the recorder was made, internet searches are pulling up nothing & I have absolutely no knowledge on the topic. I'd also like to know how much it is worth, although I am expecting it is worth next to nothing. Just curious!

Thanks guys! Smile

My guess is early 50's and I wouldn't pay too much for it.
