The items sold on this site have not been restored and have only been tested briefly, if at all. They are decades old and are sold with the expectation that the purchaser understands they will need some level of repair. Also, as explained in the "Grading" section, "Works" or "Working" does not mean they are ready to be plugged in and used. When we test these devices it is brief and under controlled monitored conditions. Be aware that many of these devices were designed with a hot chassis. For safety reasons, before the purchaser plugs the device into an electrical outlet it should be examined by a certified electronics technician who can explain proper precautions.

Vintage electronic devices, even with all components operating properly, may cause property damage, physical damage & death if not handled properly. If the chassis is exposed or the case is opened or removed it presents even more danger.
