For some reason I decided to invest the princely sum of $10 in this unit, without knowing if it was desirable, rare, valuable or whatever. It came with a Ratshack branded BSR turntable and some small, cheesy no-name speakers. The turntable was jammed. The speakers work.
So I set up a dim bulb tester and fired up the 500-t and it actually works! Sort of. I only get sound from one channel. I opened it up to find a huge amount of dust. The seller assured me the unit worked when it was put in storage, but there were signs (missing screws on the heat sinks) that some one had been mucking with the unit. Haven't had any time to do troubleshooting yet, but will update this thread when I do. I already found the schematic/manual on this site so I should be able to track down the problem.
