SPENCERTIFIED- Fully certified by Spencer
Refurbished and SPENCERTIFIED
This unit is in very good working condition. Playback, recording, and auto-reverse functions have all been tested and are operating properly. The belts have been checked, and the transport mechanism runs smoothly. The heads have been cleaned and demagnetized for optimal sound quality.
Cosmetically, it’s clean with no major scratches or damage - however, the veneer is peeled off in a couple of places. All buttons and indicators work as expected, and the front panel display is bright and clear.
Whether you're digitizing tapes, building a vintage hi-fi setup, or simply enjoying analog sound, the Akai GX-F44R is a dependable and great-sounding deck with classic looks.
Cosmetic Condition: Fair (the veneer is peeling in a couple of the corners. "Property of [Previous Owner] [Phone Number]" is etched into the back of the unit as shown in the pictures).
Functional Condition: Works Like New.
📦 Professionally packed and shipped with care.
