It is in good condition. I am not actually sure if the turntable and radio are working.

Based on experience: If it has been sitting a long time unused, the radio will not work & should not be powered.

I have had a recent spate of turntables where the grease soaps etc. have dried out and that issue will need addressing.

There is one in particular BSR (British Sonotone) turntable that if not got at quickly, it will weld the platter bearing. Nothing other than destruction will free it.
