This beautiful AKAI Reel to Reel plus -8Track Tape Player Recorder has been lovingly maintained by one owner. Only a move makes it available for sale. It has not been fully tested but I did hear it play at the sale. And I did play with all the knobs and tested what I could When I brought it Home for pictures and this Listing. Everything appears to be in working order Including the counter up on top. As Soon as I can get my Husband to hook it up to the speakers I am going to test it some more. I really don\'t want to sell this one but unfortunately we have some major bills to get caught up on so Have a look and Buy with confidence.
This weighs approximately 54 lbs and comes with its original box; I estimated what it might cost to ship across the continental US If I have over estimated by a huge amount I will issue a partial refund. Of Course. I accept local pickups and they are encouraged.
