Forget it. The cabinet is nice enough but he has been trying to sell it all year, maybe longer. Count on needing to spend hundreds (3-5) to get it to where everything works and will work for a while. I don't think I'd pay $500 and others in a thread on this very unit said they wouldn't even go three.
I'm one of the biggest console geeks here and had a stereo Grundig, solid oak ,not veneer, in as good a condition physically BUT with reconed woofers, upgraded phono (Dual) with an NAD phono pre, and a restored radio and it took two years to get $300 for it. See link, I fibbed in the ad saying it sold for $450 but I had to haul it to the Kutztown radio fair to sell it.Another good website for opinions on this is vintagehifi.net That has the most console people and info.
