Great vintage cassette player found onto a fleamarket. Wonderfull body condition, but needs lubricating and capacitor change for having 30 more years of service...
4 Track 2 Channel Stereo Reel to Reel machine ca 1976-1978.
Made a recording today and surprisingly sounded pretty good considering the Akai is over 35 years old!
Oh, just realised, the switches for the input levels are missing after taking the pic. Took them off to take the front plate off!
Finally got round to mapping my MPD226 to FL Studio 12. Still plenty of mapping to be done, but working for the most part!

The GX-636 is one of the gems of AKAI’s decorated past. It is a highly sophisticated deck built at the height of open reel popularity. It was introduced in 1981 with an original selling price of over $1,300.00. The GX-636 is one of the latest entries in the GX series, greatly benefiting from the many generations of progressing technology. Today the GX-636 is a favorite of audiophiles and collectors, not only for its outstanding sound abilities but also for its time-proven reputation of dependability and durability. Its design is low stress and straight forward, the motors are high-grade, and GX heads are down-right indestructible. Most decks have a tendency to develop annoying, and sometime serious, time-related problems, the GX-636 does not. It ages extraordinarily well.Sonically the GX-636 is amongst the finest performing tape decks around. It reproduces and records with all the acoustic detail and genuineness that the ¼” tape format offers. It has a sonic portrayal that is superior in the eyes, and ears, of many experienced recordist and audiophiles, to today’s current digital formats.
