All three elements (vox, recorder, and mic) are in good working condition. The battery compartments of the vox and recorder are clean and without corrosion. There is some wear from use on the vox and a light amount of wear to the recorder and mic, but there are no major damages to any of them (cracks, dents, etc.). The Sony recorder has a small shake in it, but I've tested the recording and playback features on it, and they are in great working order. The vox produces good sound, but please note that it does cut out when using a raised voice at certain, lower frequencies (unsure if this is intended or not). The microphone is an Aiwa and not the OEM mic that comes with this device; the original mic was broken, so I replaced it with this one. Comes with two blank Maxell tapes. Batteries are not included.
