– (SYSCON stands for SYStem CONtrol)

Excellent cosmetic condition
A historically significant piece – reluctantly selling only for a valued price.
Futuristic modern touch-pad buttons yet still tactile with a slight click for activation

Three units need repair
The included components are :

Touch sensitive buttons creates an aesthetic fast forward and rewind sound that was lost on future CD players.
(check wikipedia for historic description: Sony_CDP-101)
Two remote controls, all manuals as well as original box for PS-FL99 and CDP-101 included
Issues:
Three units buyer would need to repair are:
(1)
TC-V7 cassette deck motor is weak and needs replacement
(2)
CDP-101 CD player was stored away fully functional 15 years ago but after recent testing and working a couple of times, an issue has appeared with the tray not opening (I suspect motor replacement issue)
(3)
APM-700 speakers woofers have decayed by storage, though tweeters seem fine. The housing is in excellent condition so I included speakers in this package to make them complete.
Voltage converter:
Since this item was purchased from Japan, US buyer will need to buy a voltage converter for the 220V units:
TA-V7, ST-V7, TC-V7
which can be daisy chain plugged with only one plug to the outlet.
Google and/or search Amazon for "voltage converters" available
