Brand new refurbished SONY WALKMAN radio recorder/player cassette Walkman WM-GX410. Almost no signs of use, looks like new. [Product operation: refurbished and working]. After refurbishment, the unit has been confirmed to work with two AA batteries. There are no signs of battery leakage, and the battery terminals are shiny and clean. The pinch rollers are smooth, not shiny, and have sufficient rubber performance. The playback sound is clear, there is no excessive noise, and you can play and record very good sound. Playback, stop, fast forward, rewind, and auto reverse have been tested for long-term operation. The playback speed of FWD and REV is stable and normal, and the speed difference has been measured and confirmed to be within the acceptable range. There is no annoying sound fluctuation, and the wow and flutter measurement results are also good. Each operation button and each switching button on the main unit have been tested. MIC Recording tests have been performed with the IN connector, and it is possible to record while listening to the radio. The sound output from the built-in double speakers has also been confirmed, and the sound is clear and noise-free. Volume adjustment does not produce any scratchy sounds. It also has a standard 3.5mm earphone jack, so you can enjoy it with commercially available earphones. Please refrain from using tapes longer than 90 minutes, tapes that have deteriorated significantly, or tapes of poor quality made overseas, as they may cause sound distortion, inability to play, or breakdown. Exterior and accessories cleaned and disinfected with alcohol wipes, beautifully finished. High-quality, high-durability drive belt replaced (no poor-quality generic products are used). Flywheel V-belt groove cleaned and precision polished. Repaint each gear rotating part with silicone grease. Precisely polish and clean head to mirror finish. Remove oxide film from each metal contact part and improve current flow. Demagnetized with TEAC head demagnetizer E-3. Wow and flutter measurement and speed adjustment with ABEX 3KHz -10dB Flutter & Speed?? TEST TAPE. Winding torque measurement during playback. Everything in the photo is included.

AKAI GX-73 Vintage 3-Head Stereo Cassette Deck 100v Used Maintained. Appearance of the item. Some Scuff as photos. Some Scratch as photos. Some the sign of use as photos. Some stains as photos. Please check on the photos for detailed condition of the product. Width 35.3cm/13.9in. Height 11.1cm/4.4in. Experience the nostalgia of vintage technology with this AKAI GX-73 3-Head Stereo Cassette Deck. This refurbished product has been restored to its former glory and is ready to bring new life to your cassette collection. The Japanese-made deck boasts a sleek design and impressive sound quality, making it a must-have for any audio enthusiast. With its 3-head system, this cassette deck provides accurate playback and recording capabilities. Its brand and model, Akai GX-73, are synonymous with reliability and quality. This vintage piece of electronics belongs to the consumer electronics category and is a great addition to any vintage audio and video collection. Cassette deck with improved cost performance while inheriting the technology of the GX-93. The head uses the newly developed New Super GX head. This head uses LC-OFC windings to reduce transmission distortion. This has greatly improved the resolution of the playback head, especially when the signal current level is very small. The core material of the Super GX head is made of ferrite crystallized by Akai’s proprietary process, which has high magnetic permeability, a high magnetic saturation point, low residual magnetism, and resistance to magnetization. The gaps are optimally set at 4? For the recording head and 1? For the playback head, respectively. Furthermore, the in-line accuracy of both channels and the parallelism between the recording and playback head gaps are maintained to a high degree of precision, which is the result of Akai’s advanced processing technology. A manual bias control function is provided, allowing the user to control the bias value within a range of ±20% according to their preference. Shifting the bias to a shallower setting strengthens the high frequency range, while shifting it to a deeper setting creates a fuller sound in the mid and low frequency range. In addition, a dedicated recording slave bias circuit is grounded separately from the master bias oscillator circuit for erasure, allowing the recording bias to be changed freely without causing fluctuations in the erasure current. The display section features a 3-way 4-digit electronic counter, a 17-segment two-color peak meter with -40 dB to +12 dB, and a recording level guide indicator.
