AKAI CR80D-SS SURROUND 8 TRACK PLAYER/RECORDER

Description

FOR AUCTION IS A VINTAGE 1970s AKAI CR80D-SS SURROUND 8 TRACK PLAYER/RECORDER.                                               **MAY NEED ADJUSTMENT**
THIS IS A CLEAN ELEGANT MACHINE.  THE SIDE BOARDS DO SHOW AREAS OF CHIPS AND AGE. MECHANICALLY THE PLAYER/RECORDER IS EXCELLENT. THE MOTOR RUNS FINE IN PLAY, RECORD AND FAST FORWARD. THE LIGHTS WORK AS DESIGNED.
FOR THE RECORD, THIS UNIT WAS NEVER BUILT WITH VU METER LIGHTS AND THE HEADPHONE JACK WAS ONLY DESIGNED TO PLAY IN STEREO.
ELECTRONICALLY THE MACHINE PLAYS AND RECORDS BEAUTIFULLY.  WITH AN OCCASIONAL TAPE, HOWEVER, THE MUSIC SEEMS TO SLIP.  IN SOME CASES THIS COULD SIMPLY BE THE TAPE OR, PERHAPS, COULD BE THE HEAD NEEDS AN ADJUSTMENT. BUT MOSTLY PLAYS NICE.
INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION ARE THE FOLLOWING ORIGINAL (BUT USED) ITEMS:  AN AKAI DEMONSTRATION TAPE, AN AKAI RECORDING TAPE , AN OPERATORS MANUAL AND COPY OF A SERVICE MANUAL.
WITH SHIPPING, THE SIDE BOARDS AND KNOBS WILL BE REMOVED AND WRAPPED SEPERATELY FOR PROTECTION.
