Akai X-355 Vintage Cross-Field 4-Track Reel to Reel Deck (1966) (AS IS)
The Akai X-355 is an incredible reel-to-reel deck. It can play tapes at 3 3⁄4 ips, 7 1⁄2 ips, and 15 ips and has many automatic features, like auto stop, shut off, repeat, and reverse. This system spins but currently doesn't have sound, so for the right person who wants to give this amazing system the service and care it needs, it can become the perfect reel-to-reel deck!
