While it may exhibit minor signs of prior use, it is designed to perform exceptionally and reliably, often surpassing its original capabilities. This effort includes rebuilding the tape mechanism, replacing belts, replacing or fixing mechanical parts as needed, and repairing failed or near failing electronics (capacitors, ICPs, diodes, mosfets, etc.).
