Transport yourself back to your high school or college days with this. With the trusted brand of Sears, this vintage audio system offers a nostalgic look at the past while providing the convenience of multiple playback options. Perfect for audiophiles looking to add a piece of retro charm to their home audio setup, this vintage stereo system is a unique blend of nostalgia and functionality. All that being said I have gone through and checked the components and this is what I found. Dust cover: minor wear and tear consistent with age. A small chip to plastic cover in the back corner (see pic). Stereo housing wear and tear consistent with age. Small crack in top surface next to, but not on, phono platter (see pic). 8 – track works fine. Cassette tape player not working. Phonograph player has power, but works when it wants to. May need new belt, needle and adjusting. Knobs, buttons, paddle switches present and in good shape. I have priced the stereo accordingly.
