Heyya, =)
Below are a few pics of my latest aquisition. I may or may not keep it as my plans often change, day to day.
It's missing the condensor mic 'fins' for the right mic but everything else is in great shape. Just got a fresh ePay score for a little more than you guys would probably pay but it's a 'diamond in the rough' to me. It arrived safe & sound from a Quebec seller so the shippping was less than 20 bucks. The tuner window was smeared by, I'm guessing, solvent or some sort of cleaner but some Novus #2 Scratch Remover & # 1 Cleaner worked wonders. Aside from a very few, very light, hard to notice scratches, the tuner & cassette windows are really clear & clean . The sliders all work perfectly which was 1 of my worries when purhcasing & there is absolutely no 'pops' dropouts or crackling when using the volume, bass. treble, etc. I haven't tried the Rec sliders yet as the cassette has some issues to sort out. The Radio & Line-In works like new & the Bass & treble work good. I get a little bit of uneven sound from the treble when I set it below(cut) "0" so I might look into the caps to see if any are leaking or deformed.
The cassette has the usual belt issues but all functions engage & work ok, as far as I can tell. There is a slight flywheel scraping noise somewhere & I probably have to have it serviced, lubed & belted to get it back to working like new.
Ok, here's the pics:
