Akai GX-630DSS GX-650D magazine ad. From the October 76 issue of Audio Magazine. It is an original. In good condition. Safely packed, we do include a stiff cardboard insert, the insert and ad wrapped with saran wrap and a Please Do Not Bend sticker on the envelope to help preserve the integrity of the ad.

This has been , recapped (all electrolytic capacitors replaced) , serviced and calibrated by me to a good stock standard . 4 track , 3 3/4 , 7.5 , 15ips Its missing the head cover which is a shame but it doesnt effect how good it sounds and doesnt look terrible on this paticular machine . I have reduced the price a lot for that reason though . Normally this would go for 1500 ish with the head cover . This is a VERY large and heavy machine , hence the shipping cost .

AKAI GX-650D Reel to Reel Tape Machine. Serviced last year by Retroamps, Devon. Fantastic machine. 3 speed 3 3/4, 7 1/2, and 15ips. Had less than 10 hrs use since being serviced and aligned. Very good cosmetic condition with some age related wear to case. Below is an extract taken from the web. The GX-650D is absolutely the more professional version of the GX-630D and might also be the successor of the GX-400D, although it was not available in a 2 Track Stereo version. This set has 3 speeds (3.75, 7.5 and 15 i.p.s.) and a belt driven, dual capstan mechanism. The GX-650D main motor is the servo-controlled, model SCM3-16TW. Both pinch rollers are activated by their own solenoids, there’s another solenoid to pull the tape guides and another one to release the brakes. The tape path is symmetrical. The GX-650D is one of the only sets which has a Hall Effect Sensor near the left reel motor which checks if the left reel table is still in motion. By means of this sensor, a quick change between tape functions can be accomplished. Finally, this 4 track, 2 channel set has an S.O.S. switch and a cue function. The GX-650D uses the same Servo-Controlled Capstan Motor and belt drive system to power two flywheels with dual center capstans at 15 ips, 7.5 ips and 3.75 ips, as in the GX-400D, GX-400D-PRO, GX-400D-ss, and PRO-1000. Behind the reels, the GX-650D has the outer-rotor reel motors later found in the GX-630D. Yet, unlike the other later Akai sets with the exception of the Servo-Control Board, as seen in the GX-400D, the GX-650D has no PC boards in common with any other Akai.
