UHER Report Monitor 4000

Hi all. Glad to have found this cool forum.
I am a reel-to-reel tape enthusiast, and I recently purchased a never used, NOS UHER Report Monitor 4000 portable tape deck.
It is fantastic, works very well & sounds great. Was manufactured in 1996.
Bought from SDS in Germany. Not too expensive, cheaper than a Nagra anyway !
Here are some pics of it attached.

VU build from a old tape deck.

Hi! I pulled this nice set of VU meters from a old nakamichi tape deck. The deck powered up but I think the belt was shot. Any way I was going to build another set of VU's for a mate. I was stoked that I only had to unscrew two screws and the whole VU module popped out. I hooked up some power and the lamps fired up! Good start! I tried to get some 1kh test tone signal in from my 02R in to it.

I Just Got A 1/4" Tape Deck. Now What?

This may sound totally noob/stupid, but... I just got an old Sony TC-252 1/4" Reel To Reel. And I have no idea what to do with it. I mean... I've had -many- tape machines over the years... just not in the past 20 or so. I figured, if nothing else I could make little echo loops with it like when I was 16 or so... or make some nutty distortion with it.
