Description
Condition
Normal wear and tear, surface dirt. Scratches and chafing occur the stereo bench and speakers. Scribble on one of the instructions for use. Chips and short cracks appear on the glass of the stereo bench. The stereo bench has bumpers in the rear edge on one side. Glass door missing.
The turntable was not fully functional at the time of cataloging. One could choose 33 rpm or 45 rpm but to be able to play a regular LP record one had to choose 45 rpm because the plate spun too slowly if one chose 33 rpm.
The equalizer started when the power was turned on but was not tested beyond that.
The radio did not work. It found no channels when it scanned and no sound was heard in the speakers during the test.
The CD player worked.
The cassette deck could flush cassettes forward or backward but could not play them, as if the engines did not react when the Play buttons were pressed.
There was initially some crackling in the speakers and the sound occasionally disappeared in one speaker. It was probably due to a lack of cash.
No functional warranty is provided.
