Audio tested August 2026 & both cassettes play well.  

Smallish crack at side edge of cassette case (visible on photo) & remnants of a sticky price label to the front (again, visible in photo) which I shall attempt to remove, or maybe just leave for whoever buys is to remove themselves (I've had bad experiences with 'sticky label removal' product in the past & DO NOT recommend as it interacted with the case plastic & turned it opaque.  Maybe washing-up liquid sometimes works).  The inlay has a random staple along side of one edge!  Also, some compression marks where the plastic parts of the case (don't know the technical term) which hold the cassettes in have penetrated the light cardboard (can be seen).  Have to go careful when taking the cassettes out, & especially putting them back in, as it's a tight (snug) fit!
