VINTAGE SINGING MACHINE SMW-45 KARAOKE RECORDING STUDIO FM RADIO CASSETTE PLAYER

Description

THIS "SINGING MACHINE", MODEL SMW-45, HAS CAREFULLY BEEN IN CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. I PLUGGED IT IN TODAY AND IT PICKED UP MANY DIFFERENT FM RADIO STATIONS. THE SPEAKER SEEMS TO BE OF VERY HIGH QUALITY BECAUSE THE MUSIC SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT. I DIDN'T GET MUCH AM RECEPTION BUT THAT IS NORMAL FOR WHERE I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY. I WASN'T ABLE TO TEST THE CASSETTE PLAYER BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY CASSETTE TAPES BUT THE REELS DO RESPOND PERFECTLY TO THE 'PLAY', 'FAST FORWARD', 'REWIND', 'STOP/EJECT', 'PAUSE' COMMANDS ETC. THE CASSETTE DECK #2 IS MISSING THE LITTLE BLACK PLASTIC BUTTON FOR THE 'REWIND' COMMAND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS. I DON'T HAVE ANY MICROPHONES SO I WASN'T ABLE TO TEST OUT THE KARAOKE SINGING SYSTEM EITHER. OVERALL THE UNIT IS IN EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION WITH THE ONLY DEFECT THAT I CAN SEE IS THE MISSING REWIND CONTROL BUTTON ON CASSETTE DECK #2. THIS IS PROBABLY A VERY SIMPLE FIX IF SO DESIRED. I'M STARTING OFF THE BIDDING EXTREMELY LOW AT 5 DOLLARS.
THIS IS A FAIRLY HEAVY UNIT AND THE SHIPPING COST REFLECTS THAT. I AM IN UPSTATE NY AND OF COURSE OFFERING FREE LOCAL PICK UP NEAR WOODSTOCK, NY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADJUST SHIPPING COSTS FOR DIFFERENT ZONES SO MY SHIPPING COST WILL BE REDUCED SOMEWHAT IF YOU ARE IN NY or NJ. IN OTHER WORDS, IF THIS HAS TO GO TO CALIFORNIA OR TEXAS OR FLORIDA, THE SHIPPING COST CAN VARY WIDELY (i.e. MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE) COMPARED TO SOMEWHERE CLOSER. ALSO DON'T FORGET THAT EBAY TAKES 10% OF EVERYTHING, INCLUDING SHIPPING, SO THAT'S ALMOST 6 DOLLARS RIGHT OFF THE TOP.
I'M STARTING THE BIDDING OFF AT A RIDICULOUSLY LOW 5 DOLLARS BECAUSE I DON'T USE THIS ANYMORE SO YOU CAN ESSENTIALLY HAVE THIS FOR THE COST OF SHIPPING AND HANDLING.
