AKAI 4000DS MKII REEL-TO-REEL TAPE DECK

I'm selling this as a working unit, as it powers on, and the spindles spin when I switch the buttons on.

It looks in nice shape, but I have nothing to actually test it with, no way to test sound/recording quality.

Sold as pictured, unit itself, no manual

Akai 4000DS

Stereo Reel to Reel Tape Recorder

Description

The Akai 4000DS is a four-track, two-channel stereo reel to reel tape recorder for use with 7" reels.

The employment of a highly efficient induction motor and boldly designed flywheel in the 4000DS results in stable tape travel and reduced wow and flutter.

This feature coupled with a three head system including Akai's one-micron gap playback head assures clear playback sound.
