Additional Info

Reviews

Bought about 15 years ago as broken and repaired. works great. Needed brakes adjusted numerous times I have not found satisfactory brake pads for this series of Sony decks yet. love it anyway because it is extremely easy to repair and used standard electronic parts. No special unobtanium ICs.
