If you are looking at this listing chances are you an audiophile and know way more about this thing then I do, so I will spare you of a copy and pasting the specs on this bad boy because you already know what you are looking at and why. PLEASE READ THIS LISTING in it's entirety before bidding, this is and AS-IS Sale, no returns & NO UNSOLICITED OFFERS. Below are my limited testing results.
...r>The details I can give are overall condition aesthetically and overall functionality of the unit from my limited testing. The unit powers up like it should, I was able to find a nice cassette to test this with and it does play forward and reverse direction, fast forward and rewind all those control buttons work. I did not try to record anything because I don't have a blank cassette. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE A VIDEO of it playing an actual cassette, let me know and I will provide that for you. The buttons to the right of playback controls LEVEL and BIAS.....this is where my knowledge is lacking, these are foreign to me so don't know how to test, I can tell you under BIAS the LEFT SX button is missing unfortunately. All of the volume knobs and buttons to the right of them on the end seem to be working fine.
That is the extent of my test, plug in, power up, test overall playing functionality& lights, power off, unplug. As far as the overall appearance of the unit there are some obvious scratching and marks on top, the sides look good, back looks good. The face plate in the front bottom right corner when looking at it, on the corner edge there is some some wear. The face plate overall looks to be in great condition, I don't see any bad scratching or anything like that. I am sure whoever buys this will find things to be nicer under there once they detail it as I have only done a light cleaning with a can of compressed air and q-tips to get the some of the dust off and that is it. I really don't want to mess with it too much.
I have done my best to provide an accurate description, if there is anything I left out PLEASE CONTACT me and I can provide any pictures, videos, or whatever needed information you need. Thank you!
I will definitely ship this as protected as possible, including double boxing with all types of padding and any special request buyer may have in regards to buyers preference.
