Clearing out the stereo closet. This is a cool unit with a built-in 5 band EQ. 35 WPC with a clean, working phono section. The case and facing are in fantastic condition with no noise with any of the knobs/switches. All inputs and headphone section work well. Not long ago one on eBay went for $175. This one is just $120 plus shipping, payment via PayPal. Shipping box measurements: 24x20 x10, weight 35lbs shipping from 97123.
