The needle has been changed to a high-quality JICO 4RB, but I think it has deteriorated as I have been using it for several years. The original needle is also included. One of the rubber covers for adjusting the rotation on the back of the cover is missing. I have confirmed that it works and can play without any problems, but the rotation tends to be uneven, so it's best to adjust it when using it. No outer box. - Brand: ION - Type: Record Player - Color: Wood grain - Accessories: AC adapter, RCA cable, instruction manual, CD - Cartridge: JICO - Speakers: Built-in speakers Thank you for viewing.
