I installed a new belt, cleaned the volume pot to eliminate any scratchy sounds and tested speed to ensure it was playing at the correct speed. This model does not have a belt clip and I do not have the carrying case. I will include a pair of AA batteries and a brand new pair of Koss headphones. Mega bass is also featured on this model.
