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

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
