This is a 1952 PT-125 model with only a pre-amp. It appears to be in excellent condition but I have not attempted to power it up. The controls all move as expected and the electronics look unmolested, although a 6AU6 tube is missing. There is a manual for the tape mechanism and another for the pre-amp, as well as two user guides. I do not know the value; the $109.50 figure is chosen because I have to put something in and that's the original price ("slightly higher west"), and I will rely on the integrity of anyone who offers me what I consider a reasonable sum (adjusted for inflation, $109.50 in 1952 is equal to $1,147 in 2022!).
