WORKING CONDITION: Poor- The meter bridge has no power, no lights or response from line input. Play, Record, and Rewind work nicely from the console and remote control. Pressing FF works intermittently, but when it doesn't work, it gets a slight response and "click" but no reel movement. The Record light blinks when powering up but does not turn off by any buttons. When pressing Record and Play, the record light goes solid. No extensive troubleshooting was done besides checking cabling connections and cleaning heads. 

The stand is sturdy and stable, and the wheels roll smoothly. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good-Appears to be very clean throughout. All parts and buttons are intact. The heads are clean and in good shape with no extensive wear. The surround frame that attaches to the bottom as a desktop riser is barely hanging on, as all 6 screw inserts are stripped from the wood. See pic. Otherwise in good shape throughout and a worthy candidate for servicing.
