Description :

The RT-1020L is a superb reel-to-reel stereo tape deck. It features a 2 and 4 channel playback head and built-in 4-channel preamplifier so that you may enjoy quadraphonic as well as 2 track and 4 track stereo playback. The 3 position bias selector and 2 position equalization selector guarantee perfect reproduction of low noise/high-output tape. With its high-torque motors, professional sized 10.5 inch reel transport and other standard extras it is built to bring you top versatility, long service and total reliability.

This was plugged in and did not work.  Still a very valuable vintage reel to reel for those that can restore.  Parts alone go far $150 - $200 on eBay.
