Condition: For Parts or Not Working
This Posh MR3-RS Serial Magnetic Smart Card Reader & Decoder is being sold as-is for parts or repair. We are unable to fully test this card reader at our facility. The unit does power on — the red indicator light illuminates and the unit emits an audible beep when a magnetic card is swiped — but full functionality cannot be confirmed, so it is not guaranteed to be operational. The unit is labeled as ExpoMEM Registration Control Systems property. The black plastic housing shows light surface wear consistent with normal use. The attached DB9 RS-232 serial cable is included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
