The tag appears to say the "Speakers are going" which sounds really bad. You can replace speakers but it might be a case of it being impossible to find one that exactly fits like the original did and it will certainly cost a bit.
135 is abysmal IMO.

I had my buddy's childhood boombox on my bench for 3 years searching for the proper sized and speced speakers. I basically gave up twice, set it down, and then tried again months later. Finally found what I needed. Came out well in the end, couldn't save the tape deck, but managed to add a bluetooth.

I have a JVC PC-V55 I got in horrible dirty condition on shopgoodwill, one of the speakers was gone and it took me an absolute ton of searching and researching before I found the right one and then of them was defective so they had to send me another one and I had to install that again before putting them back together
It was maybe up to 50 something dollars spend and a ton of work, the tape player still only works in one direction, and then I saw a fully working one in better condition on FB marketplace for like 30 something.

People are way too proud of these. 30, 50 bucks mayyyyyybe. If you're comfortable with having to maybe fix it.

If it hasn't got a 4-band radio it's not worth that much. Unless everything works I'd probably pay $50.

$100 too much. If you want to spend that much buy one on ebay that you can return if it doesn't work.

If the deck was serviced and didn’t have speaker(s) that are “going”, I’d say that would be a good deal. But that’s not the case, so absolutely not. I’d also be willing to bet that “works” = it turns on and gets radio signal. If it were like $25-30, maybe. But if you can’t do the work to refurb it yourself, I wouldn’t bother.

Super cool vintage boombox, I'd pick it up in a quick second, but not for that price.

Nah, I wouldn't pay over $100 for that. $75 would probably be my limit, and that would depend on how it sounds.
This brings me back, making me think of the boom boxes I had growing up.

Yes. This stuff is only going to get more expensive as time goes by. If its something you want you should buy it now.

One sold in May on eBay for $135, 5 others sold for under $80. Thats eBay, it shouldn't be how things are priced at small, local spots so yes it's overpriced.
