I bought this several years back with the intention of recording music. The person that I purchased this from insisted it was in good mechanical and electronic condition, the cosmetics are quite nice. Since I never played or recorded any music with it, I can't say for certain that it will work as claimed. Therefore purchase with the idea that it may need to be refurbished. I am selling it at a very basic price. So I can't accept any returns. I have personally bought items in the past, not knowing for certain whether they worked or not, and was pleasantly surprised. The listing is for the deck only and the power cord. The empty reels belong to another unit and are for illustrative purposes only. All I can really do at this point is power it up. I can't make any claims that it will work. I don't know how roughly the shipping service will handle it. But I promise to pack and ship it as if it's a delicate electronic device which it is. I can't offer any refunds or claims of shipping damage or accept any returns as it it is several decades old and must be purchased "as-is"!

     All switches, toggles, light appear to be working.

Just powered it up and the play ,rewind, fast forward , meters all seem to 

work fine.
