THIS UNIT'S HISTORY
This unit was inherited by one of our customers, who then sold it to us. It was originally purchased brand new by the person from whom he inherited it. Upon its arrival, we immediately set to work cleaning it. The cleaning process took about five hours, during which we meticulously removed every speck of dust by disassembling the unit.
After the cleaning, we installed brand new lights throughout. Once everything was hooked up, the sound quality was outstanding! The tuner effortlessly picked up channels without the need for an antenna, and the phono connection sounded fantastic, as did all the other inputs.
Now, the unit is available for purchase and is ready for a new home!
