From a local estate sale, and didn't require too much work

Motorola used those big gold knobs for years.

Nice photos of a cool machine. Looks pretty clean.
How were the speakers? Many times they get dried out and brittle.

Man, that last photo looks like it came out of a factory brochure or something.
Could make a nice wallpaper on the computer. Good job with the camera work!

The speakers actually sound very good for a portable. This has lots of volume - I rarely have to turn it up past 2 and still get great sound.

This was in good shape to start with, and looks like it wasn't used much. When I got it, the motor was stuck, and I suspect that happened a long time ago and it just got put away instead of fixed.
