This unit I bought recently off eBay for £50 and need a good clean as sounded muffled
so to the best of my knowledge these are the actions I did to mine.
With the results being the machine played and sounded better after the small overhaul I gave it.

A follow up video soon will give my final thoughts on weather these old still cheap second hand reel to reels are worth being part of my set up or not.
If you are unsure then be careful as you could do more damaged than good
