Operational & Cosmetic Condition

• Mechanical & Display Testing: Bench-tested to verify basic mechanical operations. The 5-disc carousel mechanism cycles a CD smoothly, and the automatic disc loading system retracts and indexes properly. The multi-function fluorescent status display illuminates brightly and tracks disc data as intended.
• Cosmetics: Excellent aesthetic condition relative to its age, presenting a beautifully clean appearance with only minor, expected signs of vintage shelf wear.
• Rear Panels: The back terminal panel is clean and structurally immaculate. The factory-attached AC power cord is supple, flexible, and free of fraying.
• Please Note: While the unit mechanical-tests perfectly and registers tracking metrics on the front screen, it was not connected to an amplifier or speakers during testing. The final analog output audio path and front headphone jack clarity remain acoustically unverified.
