"This is a super un all in one oddity that only the 1970's could produce. If you are not familiar with these, take a closer look. Its an AM/FM radio, an organ w/vibrato, a tape player/recorder, it has a built in drum machine, and the antenna contains a microphone in the tip. You can play the organ and drum machine together while singing through the mic.

Everything works, but the tape deck will need cleaned as it runs slow. I tested it with a tape, and it plays and passes the audio signal just fine. However, the speed is slow and the fast forward/rewind motors are slow. I sprayed the spindle areas with contact cleaner and it helped somewhat, but I think it needs cleaned/lubricated.

The volu
me knobs were a bit scratchy when I first tested everything. I hit them with contact cleaner and they are currently working just fine, but I'm not sure if they will remain this way until the pots are actually cleaned.

This thing is SO much fun, and it has a unique and warm sound."
