The counter/pointer measures time. The tapes are 20 minutes long. Turn them over and there is another 20 minutes (Half track format). Specially printed strips of thermal paper were available that slid over the scale (see that slot on the right hand side). By pressing either of the buttons lowest on the microphone, marks could be made on the paper strip. to signal the start and stop of each item on the tape.
Not many were sold, most of them were leased or rented. You have one of the survivors.

Hi - Just for your interest, the second button from the left, the one with the black triangle on it, is for conference recording. Press it down and the sensitivity increases. It will then pick up every sound in the room.

I have one of these and the instruction leaflet too. Yes, T is for telephone recording.

How long can you record on the tape cartridges you have for this machine? Do you have any of those old cartridges like the ones that were used in radio stations years ago, that had a continous reel with a splice, and they only recorded about 8 minutes worth of audio?

Without internal speaker??

you think the guy in that tape you played us is from the BBC or somethin cause he sounded british
The man who invented WD-40 has sadly died this month :( that stuff is amazing! Can you resolder a DIN plug on the end of that cable to fix the connection issues?

It doesn't seem as easy as you'd think, well, at least that the type of plug for the mike is very odd. (not 5-pin)
