the foil is still on the display.
only a bit dusty

think it´s a keeper

Holy crap! I've heard of 10D cells but 10 AA's? That's crazy.

Early disc player needed a lot of juice to drive the motor and power what at the time was a highly inefficient laser. Even still with the 10AA's you can't bet there won't be a lot of playtime, hence why most came with outboard rechargeable packs in that era.

Regardless Roman, that is a very nice score!

True! For portable use quite worthless.
But with transformator added to an classic boombox >
