AKAI GX-4000D Reel to Reel Tape Deck Recorder/Player Description:I have had to relist this to give a better description and add a couple of pictures.You all probably think I am nuts with as many times as I have revised this, but the my friend whom I am selling this for has just found the capstan and has the designer nut for the top (we thought the capstan shaft was missing)!I have taken off the head cover and added a photo (photo #13) and of the storage post w you put the shaft on when not in use (photo #14 - center post of the 3 posts showing).I will screw the designer nut (photo #15) and capstan shaft (not pictured) onto the post it goes on (photo #16) when you want to play this at 7 1/2 ips.This is a beautiful Akai reel to reel. I am selling this for a friend and he says it is in full working order, he just does not use it anymore. He also said for his use of this he only used the 3 3/4 ips, he never needed the 7 1/2 ips. Since I know very little about electronics, I did just a search on google for Akai gx-4000d and t are several sites with all the specs. and information needed on this (I also found an online owners manual for this model).I also have 4 reels, one is a plastic Maxell with no tape on it, one is a plastic TDK professional LX-35/90B with tape on it but unsure of what the music is (in the box), and two are Maxell professional 35-90, both in boxes and both with tape/music. Again, unsure of the music on these.This is a great find and in such great condition, the owner did tell me it has been demagnitized?This unit weighs 30 lbs. with no packaging at all. I have estimated a shipping based on the furthest zone from me, the actual shipping may be less. THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIDDING! Did you check out my other auctions? Payment:Please pay within 7 days of the auctions end. Once payment is received, I usually ship within 24 hours unless it is a weekend. Personal or business checks may be held 10 days. On heavier items I may choose to send by FedEx or UPS ground instead of parcel post. If you have a real preference one way or another, please let me know. Shipping:I would be happy to combine shipping when possible. If I have stated a shipping amount, this is for continental U.S., others and international would be different. If I have stated an insurance amount, this is based on the starting price and may need to be adjusted at checkout time. Most of the time I will put Priority OR Parcel as shipping options. If the Priority ends up being 50 cents or less than the parcel, I will invoice you for the priority so I can take advantage of using the post office supplies. ON HEAVIER ITEMS, I MAY SEND BY FEDEX OR UPS GROUND INSTEAD OF PARCEL POST EVEN IF YOU PAY FOR PARCEL POST. IF YOU HAVE A REAL PREFERENCE AGAINST ANY PARTICULAR SERVICE JUST LET ME KNOW. International buyers are responsible for any and all duties, taxes etc. that may be charged at the time of delivery. Terms of Sale:I will be happy to accept returns if I have grossly mis-stated an item. I will not accept returns for buyers remorse or damaged items that you have not purchased insurance for. Item must be returned in the same condition and packaging as received in. Purchase price will be refunded, not shipping, but please let me know if any issues need special consideration. I tend to overpack for safety in shipping and I make sure to add lots of photos to avoid surprises of any of the above! Thank you! About Me:Unless otherwise stated, my items are vintage, used and/or not new. I describe the items to the best of my ability, but I am not an expert in any one field, so please don't hesitate to ask questions. I take pride in my good packaging, but cannot be held responsible for the postal or ground service for loss or damage if you have not insured your item. I am very proud of my feedback. I will always leave you feedback after I have received feedback from you, that's how I know you received your item and are happy wit... read more
