Manufacturer description
Used and tested/working. Physical condition is worn, this ps2 has dust in the ports/vents and other signs of age/use. The disc tray comes out about 70% then tries to go back in. If you pull it out all the way after opening the tray, it stays in place and works properly. No cords or accessories, just the console.
