For Sale- Rare collectible Realistic boombox made in Japan in the mid 1980's. RS Cat. No. 14-778.
Not a lot of wear. Radio works well on AM and FM, sound quality is good. Cassette works on fast forward and rewind but not on Play- probably needs a belt. Tape counter is working. All controls and switches work correctly and have just been cleaned with electronic contact cleaner spray. Stereo Wide and Loudness options are working correctly. Red LED level meters are working and there is a switch to turn them off to conserve battery power. 4 speaker system, built in microphones, external microphone jacks, aux. input jacks (for MP3 or CD player).
Can run on AC power with included power cord, 12 volt DC, or 8 D cell batteries. Battery compartment is pretty clean and battery cover is in good shape.
