I am relisting this unit as I now know more about it. Apparently the previous owner(deceased) had it looked at prior to his death. I was able to find out what he was told. The following is all I can offer as far as condition or anything of that nature.
It had LED's put in, it had the pots cleaned, the string that runs the tuning dial slide was repaired and calibrated. The main issue is that the left channel is lower than the right. I previously hear...d this playing a record and heard sound that sounded quite good. I did not pay enough attention to notice the difference in volume from L to R. It was a quick listen and I loaded it up and was on my way.
The rear module (Dolby FM Decoder Receptacle) near the antenna is loose, appears the connection is partially undone or something where it attaches to the back of the metal housing. The wiring inside is not disconnected, it's just the mount that holds it steady is loose.
There are a couple case side screws missing. I originally had gotten some stainless ones to replace the missing but they were not the correct size. There is a scratch on the faceplate on the left side, some other scratches/marks here and there. Some dust on the rear ports, etc. Despite all of that, it is actually fairly clean overall on the outside.
I also just obtained the wooden enclosure, which does need some repair work, if the buyer would like for an additional cost/additional shipping, that is an option.
Other than the volume between channels issue, everything else apparently functioned as intended, dials, knobs, inputs, etc.
Due to the left channel being lower than the right, the module being loose, a couple missing screws, and the fact that this is the only information I know about it and I am not an expert, not even close, it is being sold as is, without returns.
This will be wrapped in memory foam(or expansion foam packs), and or then surrounded by larger bubbled bubble wrap. The box I have for it, is a heavy duty box.
This may ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx depending on how the weight/size plays in. Either way, it will require a signature upon delivery.
