About This Item
Used, tested, turns on and passes audio from inputs. This vintage 1970s Japanese Akai 8-track is overall a rare find in good condition. Tape machine motor is functional, only tape head and full recording functionality not tested. Built-in speaker also working, adjusting the volume caused it to make a low level of noise. Likely just the pots needing a clean.
