My father used this dictaphone when working in the 80s and has been stored since. I inserted new batteries and found it not working. The spindles jolt slightly but that's all. Physically it is in very good condition but selling as "parts or repair". Carry pouch included plus a used 30 minute cassette. Absolutely no idea what's on it but may be useful during repair.
This item was previously listed a few weeks ago, bid on but cancelled as the item was mislaid. It is now "found" with 4 extra mini-cassettes in a rack and relisted. Again, no idea what's on any of the tapes. Apologies to the original bidder, unable to contact, as their details were wiped on cancellation.
