Mitsubishi Z-40 Interplay Vertical Turntable Cassette AM/FM Stereo w/ Factory Remote Made in Japan

Step into the futuristic side of 1980s Japanese hi-fi with the Mitsubishi Z-40 Interplay, a rare all-in-one stereo system combining a vertically mounted turntable, cassette deck, AM/FM tuner, and built-in stereo amplifier. This exceptional example has received extensive service, including replacement of all belts throughout the system, a complete recap of the cassette deck, and installation of a new trim potentiometer. Even more importantly for collectors, this Z-40 includes its original Mitsubishi factory remote control, a valuable accessory that is often separated from vintage systems over the decades. Available by itself or with the matching Mitsubishi SS-L70 speakers, this Z-40 is fully tested, refurbished, and SPENCERTIFIED for reliable everyday listening.
