Vintage Sony TC-255 Reel To Reel Tape Recorder Deck (As-Is) PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

For sale, a vintage Sony TC-255 reel to reel tape recorder deck that is being sold as-is in limited running condition, however, several features are not working and will need to be repaired for full operation. First of all this is a deck and needs an amplifier to produce sound, and when I plug in headphones, the audio is faint, and only the left channel has faint sound, Neither VU meters are working while the pre-recorded audio tape is playing, and the analog tape counter also doesn't move when the audio tape is playing. What does function is the forward, play, and rewind function. The deck outside housing is constructed of wood, and there is some wood damage, as shown in the photos. This again is being sold as-is and not in fully working condition. Also, the previous owner looks to have engraved their social security numbers on the lower portion to the right of the access door (see photos). This deck will NOT come with the demo audio pre-recorded music tape or the take up reel. Those will be listed to be sold separately. The dimensions for this tape recorder deck are as follows: 15 inches wide, 13-3/4 inches high, and 5-1/2 inches in-depth (front to back). If interested or have any questions you can message me through OfferUp, and I will get back to you. Thank you for looking at my item!
