How bad is that 234 looks to you?

[IronWine]

been spoted on a flea market
the guy wants 100$

the units turns on, all lights works,
the door cover misses the plastic part but the mechanism seems to be there (can't be properly closed tho), but the inside is what makes me worry..lets put aside the oily mess there, it seems to miss some parts when you compare it to this photos from earlier posts here:

Not for anything more than a parts machine. The pinch roller and probably all the other rubber parts have turned to goo, and I'm not certain new pinch rollers are available, nor that anybody can rebuild one that small with new rubber.

And the tweaked cassette bay door frame would make me walk away...unless I needed it as a parts machine. It has clearly been abused.

$100 Tell him He's dreaming:

Pass, with extreme prejudice. I won't even buy a cassette player if it's missing the transport cover. That's always been a rule of mine. Like Sweetbeats said, parts machine only. Even if he'll go down to $60, yr just setting yrself up for having to spend another $200+ to begin to get this thing to function as it should. Buy one from Reverb or eBay that you know works.
