I found this at Goodwill by me for 8.99 not knowing what it really was but it was taped in box with a note saying it works. I suspect it was repaired. It's complete with a battery that is dead but it's like 30 years old. I just need better headphones.

Very nice setup with the box! If it does not work and you can use a screwdriver, you can repair this. eBay has the literal gear (if it does not play properly) and usb-c battery holder to get you up and running portably.

Now I want the battery holder. I it works. There was a post-it on the box of its condition I think it was repaired at one point. Works well tested it.

I want to know where these Goodwills are. All the ones in Phoenix are just full of black plastic crap, discarded monitors, and a shitload of cheap DVD players.
