AKAI GX-77 Open Reel

AKAI GX77
Used 4-track open reel tape recorder.
It has been used infrequently, but since it has been stored for a long time, I have checked it as thoroughly as possible for this listing.

- Playback from left to right was smooth.
- Fast forward also worked.
- Playback from right to left also worked, but I could not confirm the sound as I do not have a recorded tape.
- During playback, the indicators and counter appear to be functioning correctly.
- Rewind from left to right attempts to work but is stiff, starting after a slight manual turn of the left reel. However, it stopped midway, and started again after another slight manual turn, and rewound.
- I listened through headphones. I noticed some distortion in the right speaker, but this seemed to be due to the input signal being slightly stronger on the right for the test tape. I believe the balance is likely good between left and right.
- The playback sound itself is quite clear and full, perhaps due to infrequent use, and does not sound thin.
- There was some noticeable crackling in the headphone jack and volume control, but it became slightly weaker after turning them a few times.
- There are no major scratches or damage to the exterior, but there are a few black dot-like stains on the side panels.
- I have not tested input/output via the RCA jacks on the back as I did not connect it to an amplifier.
- Although it was covered, it has been in a smoking environment for many years, resulting in a yellowish discoloration overall. I will clean it as much as possible, but please be aware of this.
- I will include one test tape (recorded) and one empty aluminum reel (as shown in the photos). The headphones shown in the photos are not included.

The above are the checks I was able to perform. Please purchase with the understanding that there may be other undiscovered issues. Repairs and adjustments are the responsibility of the buyer. No returns, refunds, or exchanges will be accepted.
Hand delivery is possible within the Hanshin area (Kobe City to Amagasaki, Takarazuka, Sanda, Kawanishi, etc.) and areas of Osaka Prefecture that are not too far from the center.
