    -------------------
    A Sony reel to reel tape recorder has not been used for a long time. I tried plugging it in but it doesn't work...
    SONY TC-357A first released in 1969, a tape coder developed as a high-end machine for music recording.
    The TC-357A is a two-track mono system, as a model for domestic within Japan.
    I hope you like my work and the video.

    I love these little Sony reel to reel units. Good job on replacing the motor cap, as they are a common failure with these units. There a couple of other prone suspects too in the motor and power supply, they are 2 Sony made components in an orange package, which is a capacitor and resistor in series, and they normally fail. Normally a 120ohm and .033 capacitor. They are easy to modify and identifyable on a schematic that you can make yourself. If your machine starts dragging and running slow, including FF and RW, those two components are the next to go.

    Very nice restoration of a 50+year old Sony open reel tape recorder,,,I guess those large capacitors in the power supply needed replacing,,,along with the broken light globe too.
    And freed up the idler pulleys and reel drive hubs,,,lubricated mechanism and restored belt with belt grip formula?
    Not to mention a beautiful job in cleaning the tape heads,guides,, and pinch roller,,,and how well the case cabinet cover came up after giving it a soapy wash,,,as it looks like a new machine,,,compared to the state it was in when u first got it,,,,it looked like a wreck of rusted parts in the beginning of the video.
    Absolutely love seeing restored old vintage open reel tape machines,,,to like new,,,showroom condition!

      Many of these apparent restorations start with a machine that has clearly been made to look worse than it is. That may have been the case here. The area under the head cover looked a lot cleaner than the rest of the outside of the recorder, and the base was pretty clean too.

Unless they stored it outside or something that is. The oxidation spots clearly indicate that the rust was actual rust and not something the creator put on for the video. No clue what else to tell.
