Description: Akai GX-270D - Audiophile 3-Head, 3-Motor Automatic Reverse (with end-tape sensor strip) is an vintage stereo tape deck (1976-77). This unit features include tape speed selection, 4-track recording/playback system, stereo recording and playback, automatic and manual reverse playback and direct function change control. The GX-270D tape decks features Akai's GX special glass heads. As per their advertisements at the time, you could run an Akai GX series deck 24/7 for 17.5 years before they wore out. That’s 150,000 hours, as compared to a more typical 3000-4000 hour life span of steel reel to reel heads of the 70-80's. The GX-270D tape transport and audio signal processing design are identical to 4-channel quadraphonic GX-270D-SS but this model stereophonic (2-channel) sound quality is much better than the quad SS version.
