Akai GXC-75D Stereo Cassette Deck (Boxed) Vintage Collectors Item-Needs Service. Vintage Akai Cassette deck in impressive condition. First produced around 1974 - 75, it must have been one of the first decks to have auto-reverse tape playback. Two heads, mechanical 3 digit tape counter, Dolby, manual tape type selection and capable of handling normal and chrome tapes, it boasts an impressive specification for its time. With its original box, some paperwork and some fuses. Its unlikely youll ever find such a complete package. Now the condition. Being sold as spares or repairs with the following observations:Powers up fine, mechanical VU meters move, a panel of lights indicating mode etc all work too.However, there are some playback and wind/rewind problems which might be related to new belts being required - it can do with a service or repair as its been in storage for a long time. The tape counter also doesnt move when playing a tape, again, possibly a belt issue. Also, some veneer is missing from the right hand side of the front fascia. It will play music however, but is stops after a few seconds, and the output is weak on one side (head clean perhaps?) Further Details:Typical of this deck is the 70s top loading layout with the cassette compartiment located on the left side 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 GXC-75D are analogue needle VU reading meters. Mechanical transport controls for reliable GXC-75D transport function selection. The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the GXC-75D by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. Note, as being sold as requiring repair, no returns accepted. Shipping to UK only.
