Vintage Aiwa F330 Cassette Tape Deck Stereo Component Audiophile

Description

Vintage Aiwa F330 Cassette Tape Deck Stereo Component Audiophile. It powers up fine. There was a tape inside the slot and when I tested it, the tape ran for a few seconds and shut off on all functions exact same - ran rewind, fast forward, play all for around 3 seconds then stopped. So it appears to have an issue that hopefully is minor. Cosmetically it is fine clean. See my 12 photos.
