This has a date stamp on the back of 7/1984-There’s articles accessible online how rare this model is- and the mode with the Olympics Emblem is even rarer. This unit powers on and makes the television it is connected to change screens- I don’t have and never owned a Beta cassette tape so I have no way of knowing it works for sure - the clock works and changes time. It has that retro wood that is actually metal finish on the top. Once again I can’t say for sure this unit plays Beta cassettes without issue as I have not fully tested it. It’s extremely heavy so shipping is expensive.Will ship within 24 business hours of payment
