Description

The H-8455 was an open reel magnetic tape unit, shipped in November 1971, which used the first Japanese made auto threading mechanism. With conventional magnetic tape units, the operator had to first mount the magnetic tape, and then connect the tape with a tape connector, or wind it by hand onto the take-up reel.
