Panasonic RX-5250 Boombox

The boombox is in used condition and shows wear with scratches, nicks, dings, there is a dent to the metal trim just above the left top speaker, scuff marks, rub wear, residue spots, dusty areas(mostly to crevices and speaker grill), some oxidation and surface rust to screws and terminals on the back, and other general wear. Check the pictures for the exact condition of the boom box. I took more pictures, but because of picture number limits not all condition issues have close-up pictures. If you would like to see the other pictures or have a specific area of the boombox you would like to see do not hesitate to ask. The following features of the boombox are tested and in working order: volume knob, balance knob, bass knob, treble knob, loudness selector, type selector, mode selector, tape type selector, dolby nr selector, band knob, station knob, tape eject button, ff/cue button, play button, stop button, and pause button. The few/review button does not work. The meter selector works sometimes. I am unsure because I have not tested the record button, record selector, rec level knob, headphones jack, external speaker ports, any of the other terminals or ports on the back. The level lights on the front of the box work sometimes, but I think that there is a loose connection inside. The left speaker produces quite a bit of static when the volume knob is turned, but it does work. The box is tested and works with an AC cord or 8 D batteries(neither are included). The cassette player works but there is a clicking when the cassette player is put on pause and it does not rewind. The tape counter works going up, but because the tape deck does not rewind I am unsure if it goes backwards.

I will no longer ship items internationally first class mail for items or combination of items with an ending total over $50. International buyers must pay for express mail for orders over $50 so that I will have some sort of protection during shipping. I will combine shipping for multiple items ending within 3 days of each other when possible. The price given by the shipping calculator is an estimate that will need to be paid before I ship the item. After the item is shipped, if the price of shipping is less than the postage paid I will refund any overage. Pick up is also available at no charge for shipping. Most of my items I get at garage sales or thrift stores, so I cannot guarantee that the items are from a pet or smoke free Environment. Some items may have a thrift store or attic type of smell. All items sold \"AS IS\". Any stand or other item used to display the item for sale is not included unless otherwise stated. Items can only be returned if they are not as pictured or described.
