For sale is an AKAI GX 747 DBX 10.5 inch 4 track Auto Reverse Reel to Reel tape deck recorder. It is in very good to excellent condition albeit with minor scuffs, marks as shown. The wooden panels are in immaculate condition! 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. All the functions work and the VU Meters jump like they are supposed to. 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. You can use both 7 inch and 10 1/2 inch reels! The heads are also in very good shape which is obviously why the quality is awesome as well. Pictured reels and hubs are for testing, for demonstration purposes and INCLUDED ONLY IF PURCHASED AT FULL PRICE! You may purchase an additional empty metal reel for $35, or a QUANTEGY 3600 FT metal reel of tape for $100!

Each deck is priced accordingly due to the quality, how much I’ve sold these for in the past; and the amount of time and money invested in cleaning, refurbishing and testing it to ensure it arrives to its new buyer working like its supposed to. Several of these particular models have sold for as high as $5000! To be clear, I am MORE THAN WILLING to listen to REASONABLE offers (price is more flexible on Reverb). But at the same time, I am definitely NOT giving this one away for AKAI 636 pricing. If you feel this is too expensive or don’t agree with the price, you should purchase a different deck. Any decks still listed after 21 days without a reasonable offer or purchase are canceled and renewed. This deck is cross posted on Reverb.com under my DJZ Vintage Audio store! Please visit for other decks and limited time specials!As many of you are aware, my reel to reel tape deck listings have moved to Reverb.Com under DJZ Vintage Audio due to the increase in seller fees here on eBay (hence the reason for my prices being higher on here than on Reverb and it not be possible to have a lot of wiggle room on the price here), so you have not seen many on here for several months. This is also due to several buyers on here who were unwilling to go along with my necessary terms and conditions, which they agreed to when they made the purchase including sending a message through the eBay Member to Member messaging system and allowing me a chance to try to rectify the problem instead of opening an eBay Return Request and consequently disrupting my workflow. I am on here mostly just to sell parts from reel to reel tape Decks that were deemed unfixable. I have been repairing and selling Reel to reel tape Decks for 18 years, 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 check both feedback records under DJZ Vintage Audio! This is my livelihood and I am very much in this for the long haul!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! SHIPPING AND WARRANTY: The shipping is $150 in the lower 48 states which ALSO includes packing materials (boxes, bubblewrap, insulated foam, 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!A Pre-shipment video of each deck operating properly will be filmed the day it ships out and it may be sent to the buyer at anytime. The buyer agrees to accept this as proof that the deck left my place in working condition (VERY few sellers actually do this for their buyers). 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. IMPORTANT: If a buyer suspects a problem with their deck after getting it, THEY MUST Send me a member to member message through eBay and allow me to chance to try to rectify the problem. DO NOT OPEN A RETURN REQUEST! Doing so creates a disruption to my shipping labels for other shipments awaiting my attention and I consider it an act of hostility, as most issues are resolved just by communicating. Documentation of the issues may be requested such as a video or written repair estimates so I know how to proceed from there. Any buyer who opens an eBay Return Request without first contacting me and allowing me to try to resolve the issue will be considered a risk to my business in the future! 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. 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. 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.END
