It pulls in stations clearly with that warm, vintage tone Sony’s Alnico magnet speakers are known for. Cassette Player (Not Working): The cassette player is currently non-functional. While the buttons engage, the tape does not spin. This is common for units of this age and typically requires a belt replacement. Physical: Excellent vintage condition. The body is clean, the chrome accents still shine, and the antenna is straight. (Please see photos for detail). Model: Sony CF-400 (Solid State). Audio: High-performance 2-way speaker system. Power: Uses a standard AC power cord or 4 “D” cell batteries (not included). Width: 10.375 (including the tuning knob). Weight: Approximately 2.5 lbs (with batteries installed). Battery cord not encoded.

Check out this beauty! Picked this up from the original owner, nice lady, reminded me of my grand mother. Cosmetically this unit is in excellent condition, i would even say mint for its age, unfortunately it does have issues and I have to sell it as is for parts or repair. Also the part that pops up where you insert the tape is a bit sticky, sometimes it needs a little help while pressing the eject button to make it pop out. Other than that this unit is a gem!
