This old Sony reel-to-reel tape player/recorder is in excellent cosmetic condition. I powered this up and listened to the tape on the reel and it sounded fine. It also rewound and fast forward. I did not check the record feature, whether it works with batteries, nor the microphone. It does come with its vinyl carrying case, power cord, microphone, shoulder strap and instruction booklet (that is taped on the hinges). You also get to keep the tape that is on it (some sort of party). <...br>Since I have not tested the recording feature, whether it plays with batteries, nor the microphone, I am only guaranteeing it playing, rewinding and fast forwarding when plugged in and will only accept returns if those features are not working.
