Could never find one that worked correctly . I have had 747s and other 6## machines but the 635 has always had relay problems or bad connection for me . Too bad though , I have always liked its handsome looks.
AKAI is quality i still use my GXC-46 Stereo Cassette Recorder from the seventies, my AJ-520 FL Stereo Portable Radio GXC Cassette player from the eighties. And the Double Stereo Automatic Reverse GX-W45 cassettedeck from the nineties. They are all excellent & indestructible so i know what kind of quality your AKAI GX-635D is !!!
Klasse, eben analog klingt einfach besser als rein digital. Aber die Menschen lassen sich von den Medien und Herstellern veralbern was die neue Tontechnik angeht.Außerdem sieht ein Tonbandgerät optisch schöner aus als ein MP3 Player oder Laptop.LG olaf
It's me, same guy, 11 years later. That equipment has been severely, and I mean severely upgraded since then. I got rid of all Direct Drive Akais as they all start vibrating. Sold my GX-630D that I owned since 14 last, a couple of months ago. End of an era! I could still work that 635D blind though, haha.
I remember my Akai GX-4000XD I used to make a lot of strange music and sound effects with it. A lot of strange echo effects via the sound on sound. The primary issue I had with was when I wen to to the lower speed to the higher one, The original sprocket was not aligned to play in tune. I sound a sprocket off an old Sony portable Reel to reel and used that one. Made a lot of double speed sound effects with that one. Bouncing and stacking from one machine to another
