I second his opinion. You can do better buying one from the states. If that set was, say, up to 50.00, I'd say go for it. But, the condition is obviously poor. Even looking at the center spindle on the changer, it appears to have been bent more, and appears the cartidge, and head my be missing. This unit uses the famous GE Magnetic cartridge. Note the very rusty pre amp in the back of the cabinet. Speaker is also shot. It's one of GE's ac dc tv's, so is problematic, at best. I would pass on this one. If you paid 150.00 for one of our US sets, and then, had it shipped, you'd still be doing better. It would certainly be more rebuildable....

The only question I would have for you is what line voltage do you have there, and how manny cycles? We're about 120 v AC, at 60 eycles.
