Description
READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AND SEE PICS!!!For sale is an AKAI GX-630D-SS 4 track 4channel Stereo Quad 10.5 inch Reel to Reel tape deck recorder. It is in good condition albeit with scuffs, marks and nicks as shown. Wooden cabinet is in fair condition with wooden chips and dings as shown . 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. A new set of VU meter lamps was installed as well. The caps were checked and they’re good. 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 . The heads are also in very good shape which is obviously why the quality is awesome as well. Pictured reels and hubs are my personal set for testing, for demonstration purposes only and NOT INCLUDED. Any customer may purchase the metal reels separately. If purchased at full price, I will include TEAC TZ-612 hub adapters. Here are the specifications:Track system: 4-track ,4-channel, stereo quad system Heads: 1 x record, 1 x playback, 2 x erase Motor : 1 x capstan, 2x reel motor Reel size: up to 10.5 inch reel Tape speeds: 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 ips Wow and flutter: 0.07% (7 1/2 IPS) Frequency response: 40Hz to 25kHz (7 1/2 IPS ) Signal to Noise Ratio: 55 dB Crosstalk: 35dB IMPORTANT NOTE: Lately, there has been an army of watchers and windowshoppers, seemingly indecisive, hesitant, or expecting a ridiculous price reduction so I need to put this out there: I have been repairing and selling Reel to reel tape Decks for nearly 20 years. They are priced accordingly based on the amount of time and money rigorously testing them, repairing them, and hunting down and finding the needed parts to restore them, the cosmetics, and ensuring they arrive to their new buyer working like theyre supposed to, so they ARE NOT CHEAP! I realize the cosmetics on this one arent the best which why its priced a little lower than usual. As for the price, I am willing to listen to reasonable offers and negotiate to a degree, but I am NOT looking to give this deck away for cheap! If that is what youre hoping for, your best option is to RESPECTFULLY PASS on this one! In addition to the hard work put into testing and repairing these units, I spend at least 15-30 minutes filming a pre-shipment video tutorial so the customer has proof the deck left my place in working order and 30-45 minutes or more packing these decks for safe shipment. Furthermore, I take pictures of my packing so the customer has proof the deck was packed properly when it left here (not something many sellers). As you can see, I am NOT some Dollar General or Walmart tech, I have nearly 20 years of experience in this field I’ve gotten business from all over the world, have plenty of happy customers including those who worked with me anytime issues came up, and my stellar selling record on eBay And Reverb speaks for itself, So if there’s any doubt whatsoever about my honesty and integrity, please visit both of my profiles under DJZ Vintage Audio! I do sincerely apologize in advance for sounding blunt about this and the novel-like explanation, but even though I have plenty of great customers, unfortunately, there are still a good amount out there who dont get it when it comes to the challenges of repairing and testing these units in addition to pricing them accordingly so I needed to get this out there. Local pickup is strongly recommended for those who are not very far from Central NC to save on shipping costs! Please note all local pickups are cash only! TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPDATED JAN 2023 (PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING): SHIPPING AND WARRANTY: The shipping is $100 in the lower 48 states which ALSO includes secure packing. Yes, I actually have to buy all the material (boxes, bubblewrap, insulated dense foam blocks, etc..) Shipping insurance is also added to cover both myself and the buyer in the event something should happen during shipment rendering the deck inoperable. In the event an insurance claim needs to be filed, DO NOT discard the packing material and box! Most decks are shipped out within 24 to 48 hours when the payment clears. Please keep in mind, in some cases they may take up to 72 hours to ship out during my busy times. Also note once the deck leaves here, I have no control over how fast it gets to the buyer! Due to the age and vintage nature of these decks, there is no further warranty or guarantee implied, nor expressed other than the 7 day promise given as a courtesy it will arrive working as described in the listing (which begins the day the item is delivered). After the time period expires, the sale becomes final. OTHER POLICIES:I DO NOT offer repair services to the public due to my heavy workload and because I am not set up to take in other peoples units for repair, aside from the fact not every unit is guaranteed to be fixable. I WILL NO LONGER ANSWER SUCH INQUIRIES! I also DO NOT accept trades at this time.Out of necessity, I DO NOT ALLOW eBay Return Requests to be opened. They create an unnecessary disruption for other shipments awaiting my attention when it comes to printing out shipping labels and should only be used as a last resort when sellers are unresponsive or unwilling to work with the customer (which in this case, I am more than willing to work with a customer). If a customer suspects a problem with their deck or it may have been damaged, they MUST SEND AN EBAY MEMBER TO MEMBER MESSAGE and I will resolve the issue in any way that I can! Documentation and/or repair estimates (which I will be more than happy to cover the cost for, if necessary) may be requested as well. About 90% of these returns end up being No Fault Found returns due to user error or very minor issues that could have easily been quickly resolved by simple communication, and such returns are a waste of my time. Any customer who opens an eBay Return Request without first messaging me and allowing me a chance to try to rectify the problem WILL BE CONSIDERED A RISK TO MY BUSINESS IN THE FUTURE! My terms and conditions are necessary to ensure a smooth and trouble free trading environment for both myself and the buyer. However, if they cannot be readily agreed to, then you should purchase a different tape deck elsewhere and save both of us future hassles.All decks are cleaned, adjusted, serviced, and rigorously tested before they are listed to ensure they work properly. I have attempted to describe, as accurately as possible the description of every tape deck, including the cosmetic issues and any other issues that I may find and take plenty of clear pictures so you see exactly what you get. DJZ Vintage Audio is a “one and done“ shop! Any last minute adjustments or repairs may be made after final testing and before shipment to ensure maximum performance of the deck when the buyer gets it! Please keep in mind that most of these decks are 40+ years old and therefore may contain cosmetic flaws including, scuffs, marks, nicks, scratches and dings from age, handling, servicing, and past use.
