This item was kept after being viewed once, and I haven't confirmed its functionality as I don't have a playback device. The outer box shows signs of wear and tear due to age, but the tape itself doesn't appear to be damaged. Please understand that this is a used item stored by an individual, and purchase accordingly. Please note that due to the seller's circumstances, shipping will be on the earliest Tuesday and Thursday after payment is received. (We will be closed for the New Year's holiday from December 26th to January 6th.)
