Don't know what year it's from, but it's certainly worth your trouble to dust it off, clean the heads, and see whether it works correctly.
If all the innards are behaving correctly it should be a good machine.
And even if it doesn't work perfectly, all is not lost. As long as the heads, motor, and transformers are still good, the rest can probably be restored.

I have an old open-reel tape recorder. It's a 3M Wollensak, capable of mono,
two & four track stereo. I love the imprint on the plate on the back. It has
the 3M logo, "Wollensak Stereo Magnetic Tape Recorder" Revere Camera Co.,
Chicago 16, Ill, U.S.A. A Subsidiary of the Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing Company.
It's square shaped, around 12" each side, white molded plastic top and
brushed stainless everywhere else. It weighs about a million pounds. The
model number is T-1515-4, serial number 132192. It has a rectangular hand
mic inside the cover, but I also have a case with extra mics and accessories
by AKAI.
Does anyone know what year this machine is from and what its quality is? I
have some old reels and I'm wondering if I should fool around making live
recordings with it.
