Akai GX-636 Auto Reverse Tape Deck
Serial number: 61080-37266
Made in Japan
One year warranty in full!
This tape-recorder was produced in the year of 1984.
The GX-636 is one of the very last entries in the famous GX series. It is an extremely well-made machine greatly benefiting from the evolving technology of its predecessors. Because of its 6 heads, 4 being Glass & X-tal Ferrite, it could reproduce tape with extreme clarity and stunning accuracy throughout entire frequency range.
No other tape deck can compare to the GX-636 in terms of sonic performance, flexibility, and durability.
It is loaded with many features, some of which include:
EE Tape Compatibility with the advent of high-performance Extra Efficiency (EE) tapes, it caused older reel-to-reel system to be outdated.
>Head System with the Akai GX Auto reverse in made possible with 6 heads in the GX-636. Four of them are the renowned Akai GX-one each for forward recording, forward playback, reverse recording, reverse playback. They’re arranged along with the two erase heads in the head block with perfect symmetry. So, you get accurate, stable tape travel with absolutely no contact error.
>It’s the unmatched quality of the Akai GX heads that make them a standout feature. Made from low noise crystal ferrite and super hard glass, they’re incredibly durable.
The DD capstan motor is extremely stable, maintaining perfect speed at all times, while keeping wow & flutter to a negligible level.
