This was fully tested on our workbench where it passed with flying colors. This is a full-featured receiver able to connect a plethora of devices including two turntables! It came to us from a single owner that bought it new back in 1972 (47 years ago). Not an easy feat considering its age and total weight! The finish quality, paint, glass, and chrome pieces are all in superb condition.
