I offer a pre-top cassette deck Akai GX-F71, manufactured in 1982. The deck is a dream of an 80s music lover: a motorized cassette receiver cover, direct drive, through-channel, closed path, automatic tape calibration - in short, the whole package! And the large, vertically located power button, glowing blue - just magic. In those years, they asked for half the price of a brand new "Zhiguli" for it. Today, it is not only a collectible value, but can also seriously compete with modern digital sound sources! Features of the Akai GX-F71: - the steel chassis has a small height, but great depth, so the deck looks elegant, - the 3-motor LPM has a direct drive (Direct Drive) of the main shaft, a closed path, a servo drive of the cassette receiver cover, - equipped with Super GX glass ferrite heads. Separate recording and playback heads with different gaps to optimize recording/playback characteristics, — Aluminum cassette cover (like the entire front panel), — Equipped with an auto calibration system that turns on even when recording by timer. Calibration is performed at 4 frequencies, reference 1 kHz and magnetization 5-7-15 kHz. — The fluorescent indicator works in 2 modes: VU/Peak. The "automonitor" will automatically switch playback from Source to Tape when recording is turned on, — Equipped with the Fader function (smooth decrease of the input signal level to "0"), — There is a song search by IPLS pauses, and an overview (playback of 10 seconds of each track), — Dolby B, C, — Adjustable headphone output, — Made in Japan!

Externally in excellent condition, the face without comments, there are non-critical scratches on the upper part, the hinged lid without problems, the keys are without abrasions.
