[Vintage-Audio] FS: AKAI GX-747

Hi Duane:
    Well, as far as I know, it works. I got it from a friend of my wifes
who's husband died last year. I dont have the reels but she said she would
get them for me. I did take of the back cover, no blown fuses and super
clean. All the rubber surfaces are in nice shape, semi soft and not cracked.
I did plug it in and turned it on. It does lite up and when I push a few
buttons the right hand side reel does its thing. I will know better when I
get the reels and some tape. I was told by the lady that she estimated no
more than 20 hours, tops, that it had been run. You can take that with a
grain of salt.
Regards
Gary...WZ1M
