Made in 2007. It was found in the back of a drawer in a shelf at home. I put in batteries and it powered on. I was able to play a cassette tape, but the sound and voices were distorted, and the playback speed was slow. I did not test the recording function. For those who can repair it or use it for parts. The exterior has many scratches. I peeled off a character sticker from the back before listing it, and the adhesive residue remains. I have confirmed the above, but it is an old item with issues, so I cannot provide any warranty after purchase. Please understand this fully before purchasing.
