    I got a great deal on this one, the AKAI GX-F60R, my camera is acting strange, not sure why it didn't have better focus.

    Do you use a Android Phone ? You can choose the "Photo" - mode of the camera app - there you can adjust the focus.

    Nice, and +1 for the GX heads. Akai decks and many decks from this era just screamed build quality.

    It's my only AKAI Compact Cassette and it's built like a small tank. I use a Nikon for photos, I went in a changed some settings back, I think it's back to normal now.

    It’s a beauty. My friend had an Akai reel to reel in high school, it was a hand me down from his brother. Probably early 70s model.

    Great thread Nando. Missed this one.

    Have way too many decks hanging around the workshop at the moment.
    The refurb stack of Nakamichi CR* decks is more or less complete. Just the mode-motor in the CR4 to refurb and they will all be done and dusted!

    The Yamaha stack is collecting dust. That's next on the cards when my cable orders ease up a bit hopefully.

    The current bench stack.
