First off, this is my maiden post here. So might this not be the place to ask said question, my apologies. Anyhow, a few weeks back I managed to find/purchase the afore mentioned boombox at my local thrift shop for $14.99CAN. And while all 3 cd’s & the tuner still function as they were built to, without the remote I cannot figure out how the heck to test if the cassettes actually work. Or if they even can be without said remote? So while not the snazziest & or most complex unit out there, might anyone else who currently & or has in the past owned the same model & can help me out in that regard, I would more than appreciate it. Cheers!!!
