AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am selling a reel-to-reel Akai GX-215D, a great 1970s hi-fi classic, renowned for its exceptional reliability and for its Made in Japan build quality.
Notice: this reel-to-reel requires maintenance
Equipped with the famous GX (Glass & X'tal Ferrite Head) heads, wear-resistant, that guarantee clear and durable sound quality over time.
System: 3-motor stereo / 3 heads (GX) Auto-Reverse function: playback in both directions
Tape speeds: 7 1/2 ips (19 cm/s) and 3 3/4 ips (9.5 cm/s).
Indicators: illuminated analog VU meters (working)
Rear connections: Line In/Out RCA, DIN Rec/Play jack
Power supply: $220 V / 50Hz (100W)
Cabinet: original wooden case in excellent cosmetic condition.
Condition:
The unit presents in excellent cosmetic condition, well preserved as visible in the real photos. Screen-printed labels intact, original and clean knobs and levers.
Regarding operation, it surely needs servicing. I have tested the main functions (play in both directions, fast forward and rewind) and they work with some hesitation. It will need cleaning, lubricating, and possibly replacing worn elements (belts, capacitors...).
Included accessories: Akai aluminum reel and 5 tapes, of which two are still sealed.
Pickup in person in Parma is possible, or even preferable.
