Thank you for viewing. This is something I used to play with a long time ago. I have confirmed that it works with batteries inserted. There are some minor scratches on the exterior, but no noticeable damage. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor scratches or deterioration due to the age of the item. Please understand that this is a used item. Batteries are not included. If you need additional photos of the condition, please feel free to comment. Instant purchase is OK. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it.
