Hereby offered is an Akai GS-34D Cassette Deck from 1976 in excellent condition with slight user traces. See pictures to form your own opinion of the cosmetic condition. The main features of the Akai CS-34D are 2 heads, an analogue 3-digit tape counter, manual tape type selection with support for normal and chrome tapes, belt driven single-capstan transport. Typical of this deck is the 70's top loading layout with the cassette compartment located in the centre of the deck. Tape eject is operated mechanically and the cassette needs to be placed with the side to be played facing forward in the cassette well. Level meters used on the CS-34D are analogue needle VU reading meters. Mechanical transport controls for reliable CS-34D transport function selection. The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the CS-34D by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. This vintage cassette deck is tested and in working condition but we recommend changing the belts & capstan ruler due to the age as well as for optimum results for many years to come.
