Classic Yet Modern - Music Box

Yess… One more classic gadget added to my classic collections - ‘National Tape Recorder’. Accidentally I got this from shop near my house, shop man having habit of listening radio and having 4-5 other radios in his store room but all were not working. I bought this for 50 rupees, it was full of dirt-covered and i was not sure whether can be restored its functions or not. But one thing I really appreciated the make National because except speaker and AC power socket, rest everything was working properly.

Now I wanted to restore it and use it every day to listen music. Initially I replaced speaker and power socket. And to access digital audio files I added USB access module to the tape recorder. I have attached pdf file for the wiring and circuit diagram.
