Kawai MS30 Vintage Keyboard 32 Key 80 Sound Library Tested Made in Japan MS 30

Kawai MS30 Vintage Keyboard 32 Key 80 Sound Library Tested Made in Japan MS 30. This unit is in good shape cosmetically, see pics. Tested all the functions and sounds and everything working properly as far as I could tell. All keys, sounds, rhythms and buttons are working fine.The only issue I could find was it doesn't seem to power up with batteries, Powers up fine using power supply (my One Spot power supply worked fine with this unit, same barrel connector found on many pedals, etc) There were some very old batteries in this unit when i got it, so perhaps the battery contacts just need to be cleaned, one is easy to access, which I did clean, but the other one is tough to get to so I will leave that to the new owner. Need more info, pics etc please feel free to message me.
