Tested, here are the results: Sliders are a little crackly. Tuning panel does not light up. Something small is rattling inside clearly separated.

AUX untested.

Phono works, 3 speeds work, but needle appears to be broken or chipped.  It uses a Tetrad TC8HO cartridge and a separate needle snaps into it. Flips for LP or 78 tip. Presently, needle produces VERY little sound and slides across most a test record before finding an occasional groove.

AM, FM, FM MPX all work well and pick up several stations with no antenna attached. Tuning seems sensitive and amplifier has LOUD output. Tuning indicator works.

TAPE needs work. Amp crackles happily when tape is selected. Both 8-tracks I put in showed only Channel 4 lit up, and did not appear to play at all. Channel button clicked but had no apparent effect.

Headphone jacks untested.

This is a unique piece; great lines. I'm afraid I don't have the dust cover.
