Basic servicing has been carried out, including cleaning the tape path, channel adjustment, and cleaning and lubrication of potentiometers and key mechanical components.

The unit has one minor issue: when the Power button is switched on, it automatically engages the PLAY function. This is caused by the absence of a small component that presses the microswitch. Unfortunately, this part is no longer available for purchase.

To operate the unit, simply press the STOP button after powering it on. The tape recorder will then function normally, and all other operations can be carried out without any problems.

Has minor scratches and marks of use. See the pictures carefully for the condition.

However, please note this is an over-40-year-old item.
