Condition & Functionality:

- Good used condition with a few small cosmetic marks to the outer casing from typical layout use, but nothing that affects performance.

- Fully tested and working perfectly.

PLEASE NOTE: The plastic knob cap for the "SPEAKERS" selector dial on the front lower left is missing (see photos). The inner metal control peg is fully intact and can still be easily turned by hand to switch speakers on/off.

- Sourcing a Replacement: Generic silver/gold replacement AV receiver dials or donor Sony dials are readily available from online suppliers and specialized spare parts sellers on eBay for around £5.00 to £10.00 if you want to restore it cosmetically. The price has been lowered accordingly.
