While it may have minor issues, the product still offers a superior listening experience for home audio enthusiasts. The unit sounds great. Sometimes when you play a tape and turn it over you have to eject it and put it back in in order for it to play on that side. This only happened to me a couple of times during my testing but I thought I should mention it. I played four different tapes today and played each side a while and flip the tapes over and this didn’t happen again. May have been an issue with the old tape I was playing. Also, when recording on a normal tape, it goes to CR O2 and not on normal bias. It records on metal and chrome tapes with no problem. It still sounds great but I decided to mention it also. It plays all tapes great. The Rosewood sides are not on the unit. Please view photos for a better idea of condition.The headphone volume knob is chipped,but doesn’t affect its functioning.I try to describe the unit the best of my ability, so bid accordingly.It’s an awesome unit and it sounds fantastic.
