PHYSICAL CONDITION - Very Good: There are some scratches and blemishes, normal wear, the volume knob end cap is missing, the GK-2A pickup has the pickup cable pulling loose some without strain relief, but it all looks very good overall.

WORKING CONDITION - Very Good: The display has a half dozen horizontal lines out, which impairs the view some, but is still usable. The volume is not as easy to adjust with the missing knob. Otherwise we are unable to test every facet of this unit, but all the basics functions including buttons/controls, program change, basic signal I/O, card access, tested working very well.
