Not further test has bin made. Standard signs of use. May have cosmetic wear and/or scuffs. Noticeable scratches and scuffs. Light Scratches on display window and tape door. See photos for more detail. Includes only the sony TC-K690. Does not include any additional components. You are guaranteed to receive the item as described in the listing. I do not do advanced electrical testing of the internals so I cannot guarantee that everything is up to the same specifications as they would be coming out of the factory. There is an understanding that as electronics age parts such as capacitors may fall out of factory specifications. There may be other issues with “as is” units that are not listed in the description. It is unfortunate that I have to write this but scammers do exist.

This powers on, opens the cassette holder without issue, but the tape doesnt move. Play, reverse, forward, nothing makes it move.

Turns on and you can hear what sounds like motors turning. Constant whirring noise when power is on. Notopen, so, I don’t know if a cassette works anymore. Best for parts, or try to repair.
