The classic TEAC A-6010 is quite possibly the best entry point into open reel recording. The A-6010 was very common, meaning parts are available and repairability is very high. This particular example has been fully serviced, and it's ready for another 50 years. If you've been thinking about getting into reel-to-reel tape, this is absolutely the unit for you.

The A 6010 recorder featured AR 60 silicon transistor separate record/playback electronics and a tape deck, mounted in the one walnut case and patched together at the rear, with an RCA out from the tape head.
