### Current Mechanical Testing Summary (Please Read Carefully):

* **Power:** Unit powers on successfully. Both VU meter background lights illuminate brightly.

* **Motors & Mechanics:** The capstan motor engages and spins smoothly when the safety tension arms are manually engaged. The mechanical playback assembly responsively commands the spindles to rotate.

* **Controls:** The physical buttons and toggle switches are fully intact and mechanically click/engage without issues.

* **VU Gauges:** Upon initial plug-in, the meters spiked temporarily and have since returned to the zero position without further movement during mechanical testing. They may require internal adjustment or servicing.

* **Cosmetic Condition:** The unit is original, dusty/dirty from storage, and will require a comprehensive deep clean/detailing. Please refer carefully to the high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic condition.
