I fired it up, just to see what would happen. The radio sounds like it may have IF transformer SMD; but, I was able to get some audio out of the record player portion. It uses a plug-in cartridge (not an 89T) that's about worn out; but, it was good enough to play a song on the scratchy Dean Martin LP that came with it and I can tell that it has potential. It won't sound as good and have the power that a better model will have; but, it won't be offensive to listen to and it will certainly sound better than a new Crosley.
