Looking for a piece of nostalgia? This vintage cassette player, approximately 20 years old, could be just what you need. Mechanically, it seems to function, with functional fast forward and rewind features. However, there are some points to note:
- Play Functionality: Play works intermittently; pressing the button halfway seems to improve performance.
- Recording and Playback: Unfortunately, I haven't been able to successfully record or play back anything.
- Internal Condition: Upon inspection, nothing appears broken, but the rubber band within the pulley system seems slightly loose, a common issue in aging tape players.
- Collectible or Repairable: Perfect for collectors or enthusiasts who enjoy restoration projects. While it powers on and moves, it would benefit from some repair work to fully function.
- Simple Internals: Despite needing repair, the internal workings are straightforward, making it a manageable project for someone with time to spare.
- Original Tape Included: As a bonus, the original tape is included with the sale, providing a testing ground once the player is restored.
Please note that this item is sold AS-IS due to its age and condition. While it may require repair for optimal performance, it holds potential for a rewarding restoration project or as a display piece for collectors.
