Design

The MC-723BK has a dual cassette deck, a turntable and an AM/FM stereo tuner in one chassis, plus a built-in radio equalizer system. It is meant to be used with external speakers. Controls cover playback, recording and speed adjustment. User reports say the internal turntable parts are hard to reach for speed calibration.

Market

Used units have sold between $25 and $89.99 on secondhand markets, typically listed "as-is" with noted cosmetic flaws. Some users report issues with turntable RPM accuracy and difficulty removing the platter to access adjustment screws.
