The recorder is being sold as-is, FOR PARTS ONLY! The recorder powers on fine. The spindles will spin fine forwards and back when there is no cassette in, but when you put in a cassette they get stuck and will sometimes spin fine, sometimes spin slow, and sometimes not spin at all. I am not sure what is wrong with it. Also, I am not sure if there is something wrong with the actual cassettes.If you know how to fix these devices, i think this would be perfect for you! But as said before, this device is being sold as not working/ for parts only!

If you have any questions, please ask. Thank you!
