This classic audio component features independent left and right 10-band frequency adjustments ranging from ultra-low 31Hz up to clear 16kHz highs. It comes equipped with a central multi-color spectrum display meter, an integrated image enhancer, and dedicated tape dubbing/monitoring functions.
Item Condition & Functionality Notes:
- Functionality: Fully tested and confirmed to be in great working order! As pictured, the central spectrum display screen lights up brightly and responds sharply to music signals across all frequency bands. Audio passes through clearly, and the frequency adjustment sliders modify the sound cleanly.
- Controls: All slider controls move smoothly up and down. All push buttons (EQ Record, Bypass, Image Enhancer, Tape Monitor, Tape Dubbing) are structurally intact and engage normally.
- Cosmetics: Shows typical cosmetic signs of previous use and equipment stacking. There are light scratches, superficial scuffs, and minor surface blemishes on the top metal cabinet piece, while the screen and screen housing display typical light cleaning wear. The front panel text and gold lettering are clean and completely legible.
- Rear Connections: All rear analog RCA input and output jacks (Main In/Out, Tape 1 In/Out, Tape 2 In/Out) are solid, completely unbent, and ready for hookup.
