This is an Aiwa HS-JX859D Vintage Stereo Radio Cassette Recorder. A pretty scarce model. From a local estate. Mostly been in storage. Some general wear and scratches in places. The front under the control button area has a burn indent. The battery holder attachment is missing its cover. Operationally the radio works with clear audio. The cassette though does not work at all. Maybe a bad belt?? Good for your collection. See lots of photos of what you are getting. Includes the unit, AAA battery holder, and untested original thin battery seen above. Nothing else is included. View my other listings for more quality items. I look forward to doing business with you. That is where you item will be sent.
