So rare these days to find any without scratched dust covers. Soon after they were purchased, most people put stuff on top of them. Looks like the track change mechanism is the Common Mitsumi unit with the plastic head frame that almost always cracks. Yours looks OK! The changer assembly probably needs to be oiled and lubed. I posted a 3 part video on my channel on how to disassemble these kinds of heads, glue the cracked frame and reassemble. You may have to take it apart to give it a thorough lube. To get the track light to calibrate to the correct track, make sure the head is in the highest location (track 1) and the light should show Track 1. If it is, but a song from another track is playing, you need to adjust the head height screw from underneath the player till you hear the correct song. If not, the rotating post on the track change which has a circuit board and moving contact plate may be in the wrong position.
Good information I've looked at this before but only got it to work as good as I could. The tracking number isn't correct the first track seems to be on track four but that's the only way I could get it to play with out cross fading. The head was cracked so I glued it and put it back together.
I just found a Sears Track 8/AM-FM and Record player as well, mine looks a little different but same size (expand one) without Cassette tape player. I just fixed the BSR record player and I need to clean the electronics and change some bulbs on the display. These looks great

Yah these players look really nice and sound really good with good speakers. I really like the green numbers for the radio stations
Making sure to drop a like and comment for the algorithm
What sort of speakers can you use for this? Just found one.
I just used old surround sound speakers for it and it sound great
