When you put the tape in it plays perfectly but after a few minutes it starts slowing down, someone told me about how to fix it but it's beyond my skill level, also it needs a bulb to illuminate the radio dial! I can only replace belts clean capstans heads but you electronics people can have it back to normal in probably less than an hour! It is of course sold AS IS. Cosmetic condition overall is pretty good, has several light scratches but nothing serious. Look thru all the photos.
