Additional Information
The Sony 201 reel-to-reel tape deck is a vintage consumer-grade portable tape recorder, notable for its compact, all-in-one design including built-in speakers and amplifier. It typically supports 1/4-inch tape on reels up to 7 inches in diameter, with standard tape speeds of 3 3/4 and 7 1/2 inches per second (ips), allowing a balance between recording quality and tape duration.
