Radio sounds great with good reception. Don't have tape to fully test cassette player, but appears to be functioning properly when buttons are pushed - play, fast forward, reverse, eject. The spindles on tape player turn as they should & mechanism in bottom raises up when play button is pushed. AM & shortwave bands do work, but selector buttons are a bit touchy. Sometimes have to wiggle them to get them started. Ive had this for well over 20 yrs but never used anything other th...an FM. No static in volume control. Missing slide knob for left volume control, but can be moved with finger. (see close-up photo) Power cord included. Battery compartment is clean & tested (batteries not included)
