I've had this great system for a while - mostly using the radio feature. I've never used the turntable/needle (still in protective casing). It has been in storage for the last three years. Everything is pristine with the exception of the remote (was wrapped in plastic and has some minor surface discoloration but works 100% perfectly). Purchased for over $325. Great way to digitize your records or simply having other options to listen to all types of music formats. Includes external inputs for cassette tape, etc.
