• Cosmetics & Wear: The exterior casing is in nice, clean vintage condition. The interior battery compartment and tape deck are remarkably clean (see photos). The signature rubberized accents show typical vintage age/wear; they are still structurally pliable but have developed a slightly \"foggy\" or hazy surface texture that may benefit from data-path-to-node=\"6\">
