Everything is in working order except for cassette player. You can easily connect external recorder. Hear attached Video showing all inputs working producing sound and showing on levels. According to the Tascam user manual:
The 488 has four group outputs. This means up to four tracks can be recorded at once.
Has a MONITOR (headphones) selector switch:
What you'll hear in the headphones is controlled by this group of switches.
GROUP OUTs 1-4: Connect 1/L and 2/R to the inputs of your mixdown deck. The GROUP OUT jacks can also be
connected to the inputs of external mixers, etc.
On the output side of things, there are the stereo Line outputs (phonos, for sending to your mastering machine), Monitor outputs (to be connected to the studio amplifier and speakers) and a mono Cue output, intended for use as a foldback signal feeding an external headphone monitoring system. This signal is derived from the same source as the Phones output jack on the front panel. The TASCAM Portastudio was the world's first four-track recorder based on a standard compact audio cassette tape. The 488 was the first time anyone had achieved the monumental task of creating an 8- track recording unit capable of recording on the audio cassette format. The term portastudio is exclusive to TASCAM however it is generally used to describe all self-contained cassette-based multitrack recorders dedicated to music production. The Model 488 was the first 8-track in the Portastudio line, with a multi-function, 12 channel mixer combined into a single workstation with intuitive routing . T o increase the quality of the recording, in addition to DBX Noise Reduction, t he 488 uses high-speed recording, 3-3/4 ips, twice the normal speed of a standard audio cassette. The recorder has 8 tracks while the mixer has 4 group outs; you can record a maximum of 4 tracks at one time. This is a 120V AC, 60 Hz unit with an attached power cord designed for US use.
