The version on the Sabamobil is a soundalike group.

Q) Does it have an auto-stop mechanism?
A) Well if it does, it isn't working on mine - the motor continues to spin at the end of a side and slips on the rubber wheel until the mechanism is manually switched off.

Q) Why didn't I pan the audio to the left and right on the reel to reel so I could play the separate tracks.
A) I needed to record the tape on a PCM recorder to include those recordings in this video - so dubbing two tracks at once was great because it takes half the time.
