This has an all ready recorded tape in it (not mine). This plays, but when you press stop the play button pops off. I’ve listened to what is recorded and it plays fine. I was unable to test the record feature, I don’t have a microphone. The volume is a bit scratchy, works best on high. Master-Craft Super Deluxe Five Transistor Recorder. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
