About this listing
PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION SEE VIDEO AND PICS!For sale is an AKAI GX 77 6 head 4 track auto reverse Reel to Reel tape deck recorder. It is in good to very good condition albeit with some minor scuffs and marks as shown. Refer to pics. It has been tested and the heads were cleaned and demagnetized for the best sound ever. I did clean the unit up the best of my ability although it’s still not perfect The mic inputs were tested and they work as well as the other inputs. The pots and switches were sprayed and the metal parts were lubed as well. Both channels work good as well. This unit uses the DC motors which means when the supply or take up real, starts to get full rewind or fast-forward gradually slows down near the end, which is considered a manufacturing “quirk” from AKAI. The sound when recording at 3 3/4 IPS is very clear and better and wider sounding than the Source recording from, depending on the type of tape used and even better at 7 1/2 IPS. The heads are also in very good shape which is obviously why the quality is awesome as well. Here are specifications:Track system: 4-track ,2-channel, stereo systemHeads: 2x record, 2x playback, 2x eraseMotor : 1 x capstan, 2x reel motorReel size: up to 7 inch reelTape speeds: 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 ipsWow and flutter: 0.06% (3 3/4 IPS)Frequency response: 40Hz to 33kHzSignal to Noise Ratio: 61dBCrosstalk: 35dBNOTE:The price is $1049.99. if you want to negotiate on the price, that is what the “make an offer” button is for. As the saying goes, “ if you don’t ask, the answer is always no”.Direct offers may be sent at any time as well to engage with anyone who might be genuinely interested in making a purchase.If after several days, there are a bunch of watchers but no purchase or reasonable offer is made, or there’s no response to the direct offer sent or it’s declined, that will be interpreted as a sign of no genuine interest and the listing will be removed and reposted to keep things fresh. I’m not trying to be rude or a jerk in any way shape or form and I’m sorry to sound that way, but my time and experience does have value and this is how I pay the bills and offer more of these great units.If it’s not in your budget, my only advice is to find a unit that is. If you’re not willing to pay for a deck that works like it’s supposed to, there are plenty of other options out there and I wish you the best of luck!
