Akai GX-215D Reel to Reel is a 3 head, 2 speed (3 3/4 & 7 1/2 ips), 3 motor with Glass X'TAL Ferrite Head This particular unit has had the main drive motor cleaned and lubricated. Pots and switches have been cleaned as have the pinch roller and full tape path. Tape heads have been cleaned and demagnetized. All features have been fully tested with the exception of the front mic inputs. Playback and record levels appear to be rock solid. Tape speed is locked in and playback is superb on both 3 3/4 & 7 1/2 IPS speeds. Inputs and outputs are good too. The demonstration of the GX-215D was played through a Pioneer VSX-1015TXK A/V Receiver in 2.1 Stereo Mode. The speakers consist of one pair of modified IM Fried Fried Signature Series Q/3 Speakers with bass support from an M&K VX-1250 Sub-woofer crossed @ 80 Hz. The Fried speakers have been modified. The original tweeters were replaced by a pair of Philips 25mm soft dome tweeters. Audio source for recording is a Philips portable CD player. All video and audio has been captured using a Panasonic 3CCD Standard Definition video camera. The audio may appear to be slightly louder in the right channel (as it should be) due to the fact that the camera and Akai deck were positioned slightly left of the left channel. Video has been edited using Windows Movie Maker.
