Akai 1730D-SS Discrete 4-Channel Reel-to-Reel Tape Deck (1973-76)
You can't go wrong with an Akai! They're known for producing high-quality audio equipment, making their stuff sought-after by vintage collectors and music lovers. And the 1730D-SS lives up to the Akai name. It's from the mid-1970s, and despite being fifty years old, it's still in perfect working condition, which is rare for a vintage reel-to-reel tape deck like this. It's versatile and compatible with conventional 2-channel systems, but it does have the ability to record up to 4 channels of surround sound. It's the type of reel-to-reel machine that will record and play exactly how you want.
