Wow, that's cool and definitely vintage. My Dad had a very similar Sony reel-to-reel that had speakers in the removable lid as well. People used to ask me to bring it to parties and put it outside for party music-- that way they didn't have to tear down their home stereos, plus iirc those tapes were like 3 hours long if you recorded at the slower speed. Set it and forget!

For a long time we had ours connected to our home stereo system, I used to tape stuff of the radio, like the "King Biscuit Flour Hour" concert series. Those tapes probably still exist somewhere.
