This unit has been tested and is in working condition. Playback and recording functions operate correctly, the VU meters respond properly, and Dolby noise reduction is functional. The transport engages smoothly, though, as with all vintage decks, belt service may eventually be required. Cosmetically, the faceplate and cabinet show light wear consistent with age but no major damage.
