Title: Akai GX-370D w/ wired remote
Post by: bearjew on December 08, 2018, 09:14:56 AM
Hey guys, I'm finally getting around to picking and choosing what in PBJ's setup I'm keeping and selling.  First item up is his Akai GX-370D with the wired remote.  I don't have pictures available at the moment, but I can get a few if someone is genuinely interested in buying.  I found these specs online:

• the last set from the 300-series.
• the first Akai deck which could record in both directions,
• 4-track, 2 channel stereo system
• 3.75 ips and 7.5 ips
• Total Wow and Flutter: Less than 0.07% @ 7.5 ips.
• Frequency response: 30 to 26,000 Hz +/- 3 dB @ 7.5 (Akai S.R.T. tape) 30 to 22,000 Hz +/- 3 dB @ 3.75 ips 30 to 24,000 Hz +/- 3 dB @ 7.5 ips (regular tape) 30 to 19,000 Hz +/- 3 dB @ 3.75 ips
• S/N ratio: Better than 50 dB @ 7.5 ips
• Main motor: SCM2-24
• Listed new: $ 1250.00 in 1973

Would be cool to get 300 for it, but that's definitely negotiable.  Ebay makes it look expensive, but I think those numbers seem steep.  Anyway, he always said it was a killer deck, but I'm opting to keep his Teac A-1230 instead for sentimental reasons.  Let me know if you're interested.
