This is the Flagship 3 head cassette deck in the Mitsubishi line. This cassette deck does operate (play)as it should . Very high quality sought after rare deck. Please see reviews on line. Perfect for that person looking to complete a vintage hi end Mitsubishi system with the rest of their equipment ! No test was done on recording so not sure if it is working properly…Could use a good cleaning and would recommend servicing due to age. Also is being sold as is . Thank you.
