This is the Akai X-100D Reel to Reel Tape Recorder from 1965. Made in Japan, this is a classic piece of recording equipment from the 1960s. I'm selling this item as NOT WORKING. When it is plugged in, it does not power on. It may be just the fuse, plug or something more technical, but alas I'm not qualified to say. All of the knobs and switches and moving parts seem to turn, or click back and forth, fine (by hand). I imagine a qualified technician would probably get this going in no time. Or just as it is, it makes a fabulous retro centerpiece and is sure to be the talk of any room it finds itself in. It measures 13 3/8" width x 14" height x 7 3/8" depth. It weighs a heavy 27lbs 10oz!! (That's some serious old school audio electronics contained in its body!). CONDITION, PLEASE READ >>>> Please read the description above. As mentioned it does not power up, and the various knobs and switches turn and rotate fine (by hand). None-the-less, because I'm not an expert on this type of equipment, I'm selling it as NOT WORKING and AS IS. Aesthetically this unit shows signs of age and wear as most 50+ year old vintage items do. Examine all the pictures closely. Zoom in & out to get a good sense of it's exact condition: a picture tells a thousand words. The item photos serve as a document as to its condition. You will receive the exact reel to reel recorder pictured here. All our items are well packed, tracked and fully insured. It will arrive to you in the exact condition as pictured. If the / USPS shipping quote seems a little high then please contact me with your zip code. Many times FedEx are cheaper - I'll get a quote. Local pick up from Los Angeles, 90291 also available. Due to the partial testing and shipping costs I will NOT BE ACCEPTING RETURNS on this item. **Vintage Akai X-100D Reel To Reel Tape Recorder, 1960s Collectible Recording Equipment, Retro Audio Electronics, NOT FUNCTIONAL, #CE0742**
