Perfect for mixtapes, digitizing old tapes, or leveling up your setup. $249 – Van Nuys, LA. Test in person or I ship nationwide (video-tested before shipping). PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING : I’m a private seller, not a store. Restoring vintage audio is my passion, and I work with professional test equipment. Every unit leaves my hands fully working. Local buyers are welcome to come and test it in person before paying. For shipped items, I record a detailed video test before sending it out. Shipping: I pack every item carefully and securely, but I’m not responsible for damage or loss caused by the shipping carrier. If I create the shipping label myself, the package is insured. If shipping is done through Facebook’s shipping option, I don’t add extra insurance. Extra protection packaging: If you’d like special packaging, such as double boxing or extra wrapping, I can provide it for an additional $10. Just let me know before purchase. Please keep in mind: this is used vintage equipment, on average around 40 years old. It is sold as-is, with no warranty. I can’t predict how long any vintage component will last, and I don’t offer guarantees on future performance. All sales are final, no returns. That’s why I encourage in-person testing or a video test before shipping. Please find and read the user manual online before using the audio gear for the first time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask before buying. Thank you!
