Purchased around 1988. Since it's now on CD, playing it on tape is rare. I connected it to a power outlet and played a tape, and it worked without any problems. I will also include 15 tapes as a set. Since it's old, there were some noticeable stains. I wiped it with a disinfectant sheet, but some stains remained. Also, some of the tapes have stickers with names written on them. I am also selling another product, a book that helps you learn English better when used with the tapes, so please consider it. I will pack it with bubble wrap and ship it via anonymous delivery. Immediate purchase is welcome. Please note that I will not respond to price reduction comments. m(_ _)m
