What a beautiful gem out of the late 70ties. These old Akai decks just sound so good and are a pleasure to use and look at. This unit is in very good condition and comes with wooden cover. Only some oxidisation on the record level and playback volume knob.
We did quite a bit of service to this deck and spent a bit over 4 hours on it.
This deck has received the below service:
- Cleaning of flywheel and motor pulley

- Cleaning of capstan with chemical
