Vintage 1980s Panasonic SG-J500 Record Player - Radio Cassette Tape Boombox

Stereo has been tested and works but has some issues.

Both speeds on the record player work very well.

The fm and am work.

The tape player belts are still in working condition but the tape drags a bit. Might just need some lubrication.

Both the fast forward and reverse have no issues.

The record player door does stick sometimes, and the latch that releases the stylus arm is missing, it’s the latch that frees the arm.

The volume potentiometer slider has an issue where it scratches when moved and sometimes will result in low volume, and only one of the speakers working. Fiddling with it most of the time will result in both speakers coming back on and the volume being appropriate.

This unit has some scratches and scuffs, and some dust in hard to reach spots. This unit would be a great restoration piece and most likely needs a new slide potentiometer for the volume, in order to fix the scratchy noise and the issue with the volume.
