Testing Disclosure

Testing was limited to the operation described above and demonstrated in the video. FM reception and speaker output were tested. The AM tuner, phono input, auxiliary/video input, tape-monitor connections, headphone output, both speaker banks, AC convenience outlets and every possible setting were not individually or extensively tested.

No internal inspection, restoration, calibration or long-duration bench testing was performed. Because this is vintage electronic equipment, future cleaning or maintenance may eventually be required.
