You will be bidding on this very nice reel to reel player made by Akai in Japan.

The former owner seems to be a very careful person. This device find in perfect condition.  CLEAN And LUBRICATED. Heads  are demagnetized.

               You don't goes to find another equal unit !!!!

CAUTION:  Many AKAI'S for sell do not have the "CAPSTAM SPEED SLEEVE" - the chromed bolt that changes the speed and do not exist for sell separately!!

This model operates on two tape speeds: 7-1/2 ips and 3-3/4 ips. The Tape Speed is determined by the size of the capstam. For 3-3/4 ips, unscrew capstam cap by turning it counterclockwise and remove the outer capstam. For the 7-1/2 ips, use the outer capstam.
See the capstam in my pictures. It is located in the center of device close the pinch roller.

We tested this AKAI 4000DS MKII = FANTASTIC !!!!
