The issue is with the fast-forward button. When the stop button is pressed, the fast-forward button doesn't return to its original position and remains partially depressed, causing the fast-forward function to continue. This item is being sold as junk. Other buttons function normally. The casing is also very clean. I will ship it immediately. Thank you.
