It needed cleaning and such, played nice but pulled the tape out a little when I went to stop and take it out (no tape was wrapped).
The PS-T3 didn't seems to want to hold a steady speed (and a knowledgable friend there said that was controlled by an early Sony IC) did not return, if he gets it and can't fix it I might see if the lid and gimble screw, armrest might work on my PS-T25, ugly anyway but the most stable speed of any I own.
Through the headphones (remember the speakers have no foam) the receiver sounded pretty nice...in mono, the tuner was really nice as well.
SOMEBODY will get a nice receiver, not me.
