That's her.
I am also intimately familiar with the N1 removing anything placed on top of it as well as wiring boards (still have a hand wrap tool).

2401s were the high-speed rewind models - big trouble when a reel came off the spindle during rewind. Also tended to occasionally dump vacuum in the tape columns which were used not only for normal forward/backward operations but also by medium-speed forward and backward spacing for tape-marks.
