I still have a lovely one made in 1976 as part of a rack with separate tuner and integrated amp... has been "fixed" a number of times and just doesn't work now to play tapes. It powers up though and everything... tuner and amp still work ok, all original.I had an Akai tape deck many years ago
I still have 2 others though, one which plays in mono only and another that makes a high pitch squeal from the deck. I wouldn't have even tried to play a tape for 5 years or so though.
