The recorder will undoubtedly need some repairs/restoration. With a tape in, Fast Forward and Rewind DOES WORK, but when PLAY spins when pressed but it DOES NOT WORK and the button pops back up. No other testing was performed because Play doesn’t work and I don’t have the knowledge to test thoroughly. I also noticed that the “Push On LIGHT” DOES TURN ON WHEN PRESS. The Meter lights will also flicker when the power adapter is moved at the connection point with the unit. For Parts or Repair.

Put in fresh batteries and did not power on. Might still work with a power supply but I don’t have one. I bought new in about 1996?
