Radio sounds great. Pretty clean and has battery cover. The problems with this are as follows:

When you push play, the tape scans in reverese
One antenna not original
One knob and switch tip missing.
Tiny puncture in speaker foam of right speaker. It does not affect sound.
Balance wiring is backwards (left is right and right is left)

First $399.00 takes it (plus shipping of course). I am located in Southern Ontario

PM me.

how much.

$400...Way to much money!

I am not sure about the speakers. This is exactly how I received it other than the tape was working properly.

The passive radiator is intact, which is quite rare but even if the tape has been working the other faults would suggest that someone has been inside that did not know what they were doing. The non standard speakers are less of a problem because they will have to be replaced anyway if damaged. I would have thought that this machine would be worth about $250 to someone that can repair it properly. It would be a crushing disappointment for anyone else at $400.

I'd go further and say it is being plugged at twice the price it is worth.

Good luck with the sale though.
