I need a preamp board.. that's all for Christmas..

Nice tape recorder i have this one two in good condision i record it with black tapes verry nice sound

Hi, I have one of these units. I changed the motor cap. The unit was fine for a while... but then the pinch roller just stopped apply pressure ... any clues on what I should check?

Hello and nice video. Can you send me a pic of which way you solder the transistors please? I had hard time figuring out the pin out. Thank

how do you get to the pots to spray them? do you have to take the board out?

I bought an Akai GX 4000D from Reverb, it arived with damage both spindles were bent one so bad I broke it trying to straighten it, they offered me half my money and like a dummy I accepted it, cost more to buy another GX 4000D on E-Bay to replace the damaged spindles top plate and face plate all damaged in shipping, got it all back together to find out that it plays and records on one channel only, now I must take it to a repair place, and have that fixed, I will be 700-800 into this player recorder when it is said and done, I am going to request the Fairchild transistor upgrade as most likely it is a transistor issue why it will not play or record on one channel. I told the E=Bay seller why I was buying his and asked to package it better as the guy from reverb wrapped it in bubble wrap with a couple of foam pieces around the spindles and that packed loosely in the box which was coming apart on one side when I got it. When i got the one from E-bay it was packaged like Fort Knox, with hard styrofoam protecting the spindles, was very happy that it arived in execlent condition. It is a buyer beware out there.

I do overhaul the board and do the Fairchild transistor upgrade for about $300 and $50 shipping. It is a common issue for the original transistors to fail as they used silver plating on them and oxidize.

Hey I have the same reel but mine stop rewinding, any idea, thanks

Where are you located ? I have the 4000D and looking for quotes on repair. Thanks.

How do you remove the line and mic/din knob on the front. I removed the top press on part but can't figure out the bottom part to remove the front plate.

I was having the same problem. My solution was to cut a couple of one inch wide strips from an old credit card and slid them under the bottom knob on both sides. with a little pulling, back and forth the knob freed up, and I got them off. The plastic insert had separated from the aluminum shell, so after some cleaning, I used a couple of drops of super glue to repair them.

Hey mister, is there a waiting list to get you to repair a r2r machine?

Hi. I have an Akai 4000d, it is not recording, it reproduce fine and all other functions are Ok. have you an idea what can be the problem? thanks for your attention.

Are you still working on these? If so, where are you located?
