Akai GX-635D open reel (reel to reel) 4 track tape recorder demonstration

[@ricardoflot2787]

Those Akai GX6XX series were the ULTIMATE decks of that time. They were appealing to look at, sounded phenomenal, and really weren't that expensive either! The only issue they have, is it's tough to find parts for them, and they're hard to work on in comparison to Teac and Pioneer.

This was really helpful to learn about open reel to reel. 10.5" reel size playtime is 90-120 minutes.
