Tape Recorder - Reel to reel for sale

John from Hillsborough

AKAI model X-200D

Details: Condition: used
Description: I bought this about 18 months ago, and used it to digitise old family tapes. I did a few tapes, before the left channel stopped functioning. I think the problem is that the braided earth shielding has come disconnected. The only functions I used were PLAY, RWD, F FWD, and the tape speed setting. They all worked fine until the earth problem occurred. Other than that, I don’t know what functionality it has.

I had another recorder that I used to finish the job (see my listing for Sanyo MR-803 Tape Recorder)

From looking on the internet, it seems that it was made between 1971 to 1975.

Its speeds are: 1 7/8, 3 3/4, 7 1/2

One rubber foot missing.

Dimensions: W 365xH 350x D 230mm

For sale as is.

Price: $100

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
