This item has been stored for over 20 years and shows signs of wear and tear due to age. Upon testing, the head unit is faulty, and the tape gets tangled and becomes a "wakame" (seaweed) state during playback. (See image, recording was fine) Therefore, it is being sold as a "junk item." Please purchase only if you understand the condition, such as those who can repair it or want it for parts. Immediate purchase is welcome. The price is already at the limit due to shipping and fees, so please refrain from price negotiations.
