Condition is very good. Since it is a used item, it is in good condition overall, although there are some damages and stains. As this is a used item, there are scratches and dirt from normal use. According to the previous owner, professional cleaning was done to remove corrosion and crackling noise. However, some noise due to aging remains, particularly in the attenuators. As shown in the photos, the connections around the front units are protected with tape. There is some chipping on the corners. The label on the back of the unit indicates “10/73, ” suggesting it is a later production AR-3a manufactured in October 1973. Condition assessment is subjective, so please be sure to check the photos carefully for details. International Buyers – Please Note.
