I have a picture of a Sony Reel that I’m trying to hunt down. The machine I’m looking for has a white backing, 2 knobs at the bottom followed by 3 small switches and a power switch on the far right. I can’t seem to find this exact model and I’m starting to think it might have been something that was created. To me it looks like a TC-252, however the 252 has 3 knobs at the bottom and one switch to the right of them. The TC-252d has 2 knobs at the bottom but doesn’t have any switches and it also has a black backing instead of white. If you look closely at the center there is a little more black revealed then what should be on a 252. Could this possibly be a 252d that was altered (white backing and added switches)?? Is there another model that I’m missing? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks, but I think the 252d is closer. The center on this one is black with a bunch of switches on the right and left of the knobs that’s not in my picture. I’m looking to recreate something so I’m trying to get exact, not close to. I do appreciate all the help though.
 
Ok, but please hold the laughter. I have an A-team van that I’m restoring and creating like the original. I am a fanatic and also OCD so everything has to be identical like it was in the show. That picture was taken directly from the TV so since it was used in Hollywood that leads me to believe that it might have been altered. However, there was no real reason for them to add switches to the right of the knobs since they never actually used them, but again, I don’t know.

My quick googling says it's a TC-352D.

Do I get to drive ?

Great find! looks good all except the head unit where it says Sony, is silver and not black...
Maybe I could get a silver plate from another machine and glue it on. Actually it doesn’t look the same at all. Maybe it was originally a 352d with parts from another machine?
Wonder if the 252 head unit would fit on a 352d?
