This boombox works well with tapes, CD's and radio. The battery terminals are clean and functional. At this time I do not have a cord for it although I have tested it with a borrowed cord from another player. It has some minor cosmetic issues like scratches, marks and abrasions as seen on the body. Also it looks like somebody painted the CD play button red and also dripped this paint in 2 separate spots which I pictured. If you have any questions let me know.
