Non-functioning, rare, and vintage 70s portable cassette recorder/player, a radio cassette player with a space-age, mid-century industrial design from the Showa Retro era, suitable for vintage antique interior display. Only the main unit and power cord are included; the cassette tape in the photo is not included. Suitable for repair or as an interior decoration. Playback and fast forward were working (with slightly high pitch), and volume adjustment was possible with minimal static. Rewinding is slow and barely works. Recording and other detailed functions are untested. The included power cord and batteries can both power on the device. The exterior has some small scratches. The cassette lid opens and closes without issues. The size is approximately H2.95 inches x W7.87 inches x D9.25 inches (excluding the handle). It is a rare portable cassette recorder from that time.
