Description

SONY PCM-R500 Digital Audio Tape DAT Recorder Deck. 100% works. EXC++ condition! Very low hours! Remote!
Tested for playing and recording tapes. Excellent sound and recording quality. Drum has only 0160 hours! Extremely low for one of these.
Cosmetics are as “almost new”. I find no scratches, dents etc. There may be minor scuffs that don’t show up in the photos. There is some dust that shows up in the photos but is just dust. LCD screen is clean and unscratched. This unit spent it’s life in a SKB heavy duty travel case which accounts for its excellent condition. Please review and expand all photos as they are an important part of the description. Original list price was 95.
The case is also for sale for 5.
You won’t find one in better condition with lower hours.
Instruction Manual and Service manual in Acrobat PDF file (via email).
AC Cord, working Remote Control are included!
As this is a vintage electronic item, it is not guaranteed, carries no warranty and is not returnable. Prefer to sell locally but if shipping, it will be packed professionally in heavy shipping box with internal thick styrofoam.
Please ask if any questions
