Currently in use — and staying that way until it sells
Rather than sit in storage, this unit is in daily use in a working home stereo system. It has run for several weeks with no faults of any kind, and it stays in service until it sells. Everything below was confirmed in real use — not a five-minute bench check.
Please note on availability: because the unit is currently set up and in use, it is not immediately available for same-day pickup. Local pickup is absolutely welcome — we just need to bring it back to the shop first. Contact us when you order and we'll confirm a pickup time.
What we tested
- Power-up and front display — all segments lit and legible

- Factory-pressed CDs read and track without skipping
- CD-R discs play reliably
- Analog RCA output, both channels
- Digital optical (TOSLINK) output confirmed working correctly
- Headphone output, both channels, level control swept full range
