AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Tape recorder from the Akai brand
It is the 4000DS MK2
It works, the VU lighting also works.
With the speed belt.

As an extra, 5 reels are included, with tape (no idea what the content is and the quality).

View the photos carefully for the condition.
These are part of the description of the item.

The Akai 4000DS MK2 is a four-track, two-channel stereo reel-to-reel tape recorder for use with 7" reels.

The use of a very efficient induction motor and a bold flywheel in the 4000DS results in a stable tape loop and reduced wow and flutter.

This feature, combined with a three-head system, including Akai's playback head with a one-micron gap, guarantees a clear playback sound.
