    Typical scratches and wear for its age but generally in good cosmetic condition
    There some type of residue (perhaps tape) on the right hand side of the unit and there are some cracks in the wood
    Audio output does have a
    hum.
    This is very common for these units and from my research is most likely due to capacitors that need replacement.
    Testing:
    I tested this unit by connecting the headphone output to some self powered speakers (Mackie CR3's). I then tested all the FM presets and main tuner. Additionally, I tested the tape input by connecting a laptop to it and playing music. There was stereo signal from each of these outputs.
    There is a hum present
    (even on no input) as mentioned above and in the video. To see a demonstration please watch this video:

    These were produced between 1976 and 1979 so this unit is in very good condition for it's age in my opinion. The fact that all lamps are working is pretty exceptional.
    I am happy to answer any and all questions I can. But, please
    ask before bidding.
