Due to age, vintage electronics may require cleaning, servicing, lubrication, or minor adjustment to perform at their absolute best. I do my absolute best to describe conditions honestly and accurately. Function was verified at the time of testing, but long-term reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the age of the equipment. Item is sold as vintage collectible electronic equipment.
