@Datassette_User@oldbytes.space Thanks!
Sony made two tape winders (BE-100 and BE-A200), both of which are fairly rare. I had those on my "wishlist" and recall that this Telex unit showed up during an eBay search. Though there is a Telex Copyette which shares the same body, this is the only one of its kind that I've ever seen!
All four bays are driven by a single motor using an extremely long belt, the latter which arrived decayed and broken. It took me a few tries to fit one that was the right size.

@recursivedelete@highbias.org Oh wow, one belt for four bays ... would could go wrong he? 😄 Copyette is also a great product name, so retro 😍. Nice device, great that you gave it a good home and can actually use it. Don't wanna know how many of these went to the forever-rainbow-land at the milk and honey river ... 🥺
