I've had this since bought new in 1981 but haven't listened to vinyl for about 30 years. I put my old system back together to check everything works OK, but I'm moving house and don't have the space to keep it.
There are one or two light marks on the fascia and some of the lettering has rubbed off - see photos for detail. The unit works fine but there is a crackle on the volume control only when you change the volume. It's been like that since about 1985 and doesn't have any effect ...when playing, only when changing volume.
