** External battery case is not included in the sale **
** Rechargeable Li-ion battery is not included in the sale **
** AC adapter is not included in the sale **
Summary:
An almost fully functional device with minor callouts regarding the appearance.
Product Condition (Appearance):
Display Panel - No noticeable scratches or damage.
Front Face - Two or three tiny marks or scratches. There is a small chip or dent just below the battery cover.
Sides - No callouts.
Rear Face - A few tiny scratches or marks.
All external facing screws present and tightened.
No signs of crushing.
Product Condition (Functionality):
The connections inside the headphone jack are loose, and audio only comes out of the right channel. It's possible to get audio via both channels but only by applying some pressure to the headphone plug. A workaround is to connect directly to the LINE OUT jack.
Apart from the callout above, the device is fully functional, both as a player and recorder.
