Akai 4000DS Mk2

Akai 4000DS Mk2

Reel-to-Reel

Made in Japan during the early to late 70’s, this is 3.75 & 7.5 ips, 4-Track, 2 Channel Stereo, Sound-on Sound reel-to-reel tape deck is in full working order. Tape path and pinch roller cleaned, heads checked & perfect, all functions tested and everything working really well.

Changing speeds is simplicity itself (see pictures 3 & 4).

Physical condition is very good but there is one little dent on the head cover (see pictures 9 & 10). This has no effect on performance.

User switchable mains volts and user switchable 50 or 60 cycles, so this will operate in any country.
