Akai M8 Cross Field Reel To Reel

Works great!

I have a video of this unit playing but do not know how to upload it. You can contact me and I will text or email it. 270-403-8251

There is a little static in a couple of knobs.

This unit was used and maintained by a radio station until they went digital. Has been stored in climate control.

Missing one of the rubber reel caps that is necessary for playing upright. Should be a cheap and easy replacement.

The case has some stains but the fabric isn\'t worn through anywhere.

Some of the lettering is worn off of the face of the unit.
