These "boomboxes" are now around 25 years old. I have several of them and have given them as gifts. They will all need service in their lifetimes. I have noticed the rewind/fast forward belt will need to be replaced first. The play belt lasts a lot longer for some reason. My original, 25 year old unit works great if you used the remote control to command any feature. If I try to use any feature with my fingers it does a wrong command. The cassette controls work as intended with the "piano keys". So something in the electronics has gone haywire. Again, using the remote control "fixes" all of that. I have more than gotten my monies worth with my units. In summary, I love my boomboxes and have use them for up to 25 years now. If you can get a gently used one, maybe all of the controls will still work like new. And just know that I highly recommend getting one WITH the remote control. The sound quality is very good using the radio and the CD player. With the cassette tape there is a little drop off, but it still sounds good.Read full review
