Come with the original box & everything, including the cassette deck works like new. Radio cassette and line in called auxiliary all works and it has shortwave one and two. There's no balance but it does have a volume and then a 100 HZ a 1 khz and a 10khz equalizer. And no, the controls are not scratchy. At least not to my ears. Hi sam That's the top view. That's the front view with the original sticker on the front of the cassette deck. That's the back view. And this is the bottom view I guess. Each speaker compartment takes four c batteries when you're operating it as a portable. Otherwise use that wall wart that hangs on the back of the unit and then plugs into the AC. And this does have world voltage so you can use it anywhere in the world. Video of it working Akai PJ-11 or Akai PJ-11FS (5:34 minutes) decentman4you2007@gmail.com I'll answer any questions.
