I've tested most of the functions on this deck and it all checks out fine. All lamps and meters work. It does need a lube as play mode just takes a small spin from your finger to get going and then it plays true to all 3 speeds after that - I've tested it after recording with my metronome. All accessories are there: original power cord, both mics (one does not seem to be functioning), both mic stands (not pictured), an odd knob accessory(see pic), some rolls of splicing tape and one empty take up reel. Both channels record as they should. I didn't try the sound "on" sound because I really don't know that much about these and the only tape I have has got Spanish Lessons on both sides. Extention speakers sound great too. Cosmetic condition is nearly perfect, just a couple customary scratches by the extension speakers hinges. The machine is heavy but will be expertly packed for shipment.   As always, please ask all questions prior to bidding. Thanks.
