When plugged in, the engine comes on and the light illuminates, as seen in photo.  The machine does make what sounds to be good working noise, but it is somewhat loud (I guess compared to today's quiet electronics).  That is my assessment of working condition - not sure what other tests would be required.  Includes a single reel affixed to the bottom of the machine, and a little splicing kit.  Will be carefully packaged and shipped FEDEX.
