This is an Akai AS-3 tape splicer made in Japan circa 1968. This splicer is from my collection of vintage audio equipment and accessories. The splicer looks like new, in the box, and does not appear to have been used. Included in the box is the splicer with an extra cutting pad, the plastic bag containing the cutter and an instruction sheet that, I'm gonna go out on a limb here; is in Japanese and English. The box is a little shop-worn, but not too seriously. I've never used it to splice tape. That's about all I can tell you!

Please look at all the pictures carefully to determine cosmetic condition (I consider my pictures to be part of the item description). I don't, however, consider myself an expert on this item, but feel free to ask any questions you may have before bidding. There may be something of importance to you that I have overlooked or failed to mention. No returns, refunds or warrantee offered on this splicer. It is being sold "as-is", but I will send the described item to you. I only ship internationally using eBay's "Global Shipping Program" and those rates will apply. No alternative international shipping is provided.

Vintage item, great for that reel-to-reel collector/owner!
