A beautiful antique tape recorder of a cult brand, despite being over 40 years old, still works and works very well. The set includes two reels, one with tape, cables and instructions.
If anyone was worried, there is no problem with service, e.g. a complete set of belts is available on the Internet for pennies and the rest does not break down.
The metal spools I add are too heavy for winding but they are very effective. On light plastic spools it plays the same but winds better.
Don't worry, the equipment will be packed very solidly, sent by a good courier company.

I highly recommend it!

the shipment also includes cables, spools, instructions

Bought a Akai 4000 DS. Everything is working fine as described except for the rewind function / belt which is not functioning properly hence the neutral feedback.

Oh, I'm sorry, I must have overdone it with the WD 40 preservation, in a few days it will evaporate and everything will be ok!
