    @janbeta @mike I picked up this Akai a couple of years ago and managed to get it working almost perfectly again with the help of my neighbour who repairs old hi-fi equipment as his retirement job/hobby. Love the sound of these when they saturate a little.

        @mdreid A bit more sophisticated than my Philips, too. Mine only has two heads and yours already has Dolby!

          @janbeta The Philips looks so slick though. It’s got that real “here’s what we imagined the future should be” design.

            @mdreid That’s true! I especially love the faders for controlling the levels. 🙂
