PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION, SEE PICS 

For sale is an AKAI 4000DS MK-II 7 inch 4 track 2 channel stereo Reel to Reel tape deck recorder. It is in good condition albeit with some scuffs and marks dings on the cabinet and a burnt out VU meter lamp as shown. i cleaned up the face plate the best of my ability. Refer to pics. It has been tested, serviced, calibrated and the heads were cleaned and demagnetized for the best sound ever. 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 are clear and superb sounding as well. The belts and caps were checked and they’re good. All the functions work and the VU Meters light up and jump like they are supposed to. 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 better at 7 1/2 IPS (with the speed sleeve) . The price is $449.99 ! REELS ARE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT INCLUDED! Please keep in mind a lot of work and testing was done to ensure this deck works properly so it will NOT be cheap! Purchase at full price and I will include several tapes to get started!
