From the seller
I listed it as fair, but most of the unit works fine. While I was testing this, sometimes the tape would tangle. I tried to clean the heads, but randomly, the problem would happen again. I researched it and learned that cassette tape can age and get gummy. That can apparently causes the spools to drag, possibly causing the problem. I had no problem with new tape, but with some from the 1980s, it frequently dragged. For that reason I am selling it as is. I would imagine it needs a servicing, as it has sat unused for at least 10 years. New belts would probably solve the problem, but I don't know how to replace them.
I am the original owner. The system only uses 60 minute or less cassettes. It is really easy to use. I wrote more than 100 songs on this. It is also listed as a Cutec, as both models are identical. I have the original manual as well. It will come with 30 cassettes. I believe they are all blank.
