[Fully Functional] SONY TC-2850SD Cassette Deck SN.32648

SONY TC-2850SD cassette recorder, a working "DENSKE" (professional-grade) unit.

Overall, it's in beautiful condition, but as a vintage item from about half a century ago, there are unavoidable scratches and stains from years of use. In particular, the dents and bumps from on-site recording tell a story of the era's intensity. Although it functions properly, it is being sold as a junk item. Due to the recent increase in return scams, we are unfortunately unable to accept returns as a general rule, so please understand that this is a no-claims, no-returns sale.
