800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 You are looking at an AKAI GX-280 VINTAGE reel-to-reel tape recorder. Superb machine from the golden age of Hi-Fi. I’m talking about the seventies & yes this machine is at least 52 years old. Looks like it has spent most of its life in its original box. I tested it with a poor-quality tape as its all I have so wasn’t expecting great results when recording. I just want to prove its working before it started to blow fuses. Please watch the video. Sold strictly for spares or repairs with no returns. Video proves it was working prior to it blowing fuses. Features, built in amplifier for external speakers or for playing internal speakers, 4 track, 2 channel stereo, 3 Head, 3 motor, auto reverse, twin illuminated analogue VU meters, manual tape counter, manual record level, headphone socket, twin microphone sockets, speeds for 7 ½ & 3 ¾ & normal/S.R.T (super range tape) positions. Plays 7” tapes. WHEN WORKING. Worldwide voltage selection 100/110/200/220/240 volts. No visible wear to the heads. RCA inputs & outputs plus DIN socket. Can be connected to any Hi-Fi system. It’s in excellent cosmetic condition, a section of metal trim is missing from the top edge. SEE PICTURES. Comes packed in its original box and packaging. Description Only top-quality materials are used in the construction of Model GX-280 Tape Deck. Not only the new GX head and servo motor, but literally all parts are Akai designed and manufactured for absolute mechanical dependability. Each part is separately tested for durability and ability to withstand severe conditions. The new Akai Model GX-280 employs a first-rate quality 3-motor system. The most crucially important capstan drive motor is an epoch-making direct capstan drive servo motor which combines the winding control of the ordinary eddy-current motor and a speed detecting toothed cog-wheel into a single structure mechanism. Thus, the usual instrumental devices such as drive belt, idler, flywheel, etc are eliminated and tape speed travel is stabilized. Because of the speed adjusting completely electrical control circuit, cycle revolutions are always perfectly adjusted. Therefore, tape speeds are extremely accurate and wow / flutter substantially decreased. Two eddy current, outer rotor motors assure smooth and stable supply and take-up reel drive. Glass and Crystal Ferrite recording and playback heads, the cores of which are made of the gem crystal ferrite and the inner circumference of the head shield (including core and gap) mounted and set in glass. No adhesion of dust on the ceramic like head surface. Because of ideal hardness and friction characteristics, abrasion is practically nil. Guaranteed for 150,000 hours of service life! The crystal ferrite core possesses an exact amount of magnetism to form a bias field. By focusing the magnetic bias field, the bias influence is lessened for recording high frequencies without distortion. The playback head is a uniquely designed shifting playback head enabling automatic reverse play. Heads are shielded for good S/N ratio. Frequency Response an amazing 30 to 26,000 Hz at when new and with super range tape at 7 1?2 ips. When the tape ends or is accidentally broken, the Automatic Stop/Shut-Off Lever is released and reel movement stops. If the Automatic Shut-Off Button is depressed, when the Shut-Off Lever is released, the power of the unit is cut off. For use when using Akai Super Range Tape. This is a new low noise tape and is highly recommended for superior performance. WHEN WORKING!!
