(CELEBRATING 22 YEARS ON eBay!) Very nice looking (visibly) with hardly any wear.(see photos) I tested it & it doesn't work quite properly. The good thing about it is, the lights seem to be working & I could get the 8 track to work. The only way it would work is to lift up on the 8 track at the back, then it would reach the head & play. Both channels are working, but the sound is muffled some or not very bright. My guess is, that the head may need to be replaced, cleaned or tweaked some. It could be the old 8 track as well. I only had one 8 track to test with. Not sure what to do about having to lift up on the tape to make it work, but obviously, there is some kind of adjustment or replacement there. The 4 track button was changing tracks and like I said, you have to hold up the end of the 8 track to hear. I also don't know if it records properly or not as well.. So unless you know how to repair that or want to repair this, this not for you. I just wanted to explain what I found.ALSO, the info of the workings of this machine in the specks, was in the info based on the model number on other listings I saw on eBay, not by my knowledge. This is for repair or parts for sure. . , This thing is heavy, they don't make them like this anymore.. Please study the photos before you purchase to make sure it's in the condition that you desire. Because of the age of this player, no returns will be accepted, but is as I described & the photos imply..
