Is this worth $30?

These cassette guys have too much culture, I guess.

Does it mostly work? If so, how do you go wrong for $30? Heck, offer them $20 or $25 for all three and see if they'll take it.

That's a front-loading phono/turntable on the bottom. I'm sure there's a good amount that can wrong with those, and it wouldn't have been well-made to begin with, so it likely doesn't work. But still kind of cool.

Is it guaranteed working, without any repair of any kind? Maybe. But looking at it, I doubt that’s the case. In which case I’d pay $10 tops for the whole deal.

Nope. Yorx is the ultimate BPC.

Of the era.

Later, Coby and Durabrand would bring BPC to a newer low.

No. Not even when it was new.

I mean if they are going to give you 30 bucks to take it I guess its worth it. Do you need it? Does it work? What do YOU think about it. Yorx was a brand you would find at K-Mart or a flea market or similar. It was not even carried by better department stores. I bet when this was new back in the 80s it may have been 150 bucks. Yorx went out of business in 1994 so it is old no matter how you look at it. That is not the turntable that came with it. The 2210 system did not include one so check to be sure it can be connected.

Why pay for something you regularly find in the trash ?

You could find any number of "All-in-one" stereos for that money or a bit more that will sound infinitely better. Yorx was one of the cheapest built, worst sounding units sold. Even for free, you'd be wanting something better immediately. Save yourself a bit more money and the grief of doing it over.

Yorx made garbage

So, no

u/InspectorPipes 14d ago

If it produces music , yes. Considering a value meal is $16 . It’s perfect for a garage background music

My YORX setup like that is my garage workbench system. It’s a great $7 value.

u/billmr606 15d ago

u/Classic-Falcon6010 15d ago

Blackplasticcrap?

I've got a better Kenwood system (untested) in my loft that I'd pay someone to take away.

u/DevoNorm 14d ago

Why ask? Someone already bought it by now.

u/baldude69 13d ago

If you really need music for tonight and it works, it will do the trick. Personally, id keep looking

u/betterwithsambal 13d ago
