That sounds like it.  It probably was.  It's been many years since I
looked at it.  Ours is a portable unit that uses 5-inch reels.  The one
shown is a tabletop with 7-inch reels.

It might have been Sanyo.  Whatever the brand, I have one in the
warehouse.  The news program was using one when I arrived here in 1978
and I got it with the camera and case when they upgraded to something
real.
