The only issue it has is the cassette player seems to rewind and fast forward but won’t play. It can be repair d or used for parts only. Clean and great condition.

Here I Have a Vintage 80’s Panasonic SG-J500 Record Player Cassette Tape Radio Boombox TESTED and In Working Order. I have replaced the belt on the cassette deck. Only issue a was not able to fix is the clear door over the record player drawer. When you press the button to open it doesn’t automatically go up like it should, however you’d have to use your finger to pull up. I do have a video of this unit showing all of this.

Stereo has been tested and works but has some issues. Both speeds on the record player work very well. The tape player belts are still in working condition but the tape drags a bit. Might just need some lubrication. Both the fast forward and reverse have no issues. The record player door does stick sometimes, and the latch that releases the stylus arm is missing, its the latch that frees the arm. The volume potentiometer slider has an issue where it scratches when moved and sometimes will result in low volume, and only one of the speakers working. Fiddling with it most of the time will result in both speakers coming back on and the volume being appropriate. This unit has some scratches and scuffs, and some dust in hard to reach spots. This unit would be a great restoration piece and most likely needs a new slide potentiometer for the volume, in order to fix the scratchy noise and the issue with the volume.

The Radio and turntable works but the cassette deck does not as the pause button is pressed down.

All functions do work. The tape player may need cleaned. It makes some noise while playing. The antenna is broken so it may need replacement. The record player works and plays both speeds. It will need a new needle. I was wiping it down and the needle came out. The automatic open function works for the record player as well. The volume contacts may need cleaned. It is staticky when adjusting. This unit will need some work but well worth it! Does not come with a power cord.
