Default Akai X-1800 SD reel to reel w/ 8 track player from the 1970s - 06-13-2008, 02:04 AM

Found one of these near mint with original box and packaging. Would you consider this vintage? I cannot find much info on it. It's a really nice system. It has speakers built in... just flip the aluminum doors on either side. Another neat feature is it plays 8 tracks.

It has input areas for a remote control, headphones and "REC/P.R." I also found some videos on youtube of this very same model in action. The owner is playing a recorded live radio station from 1965 'Robert W. Morgan' "Morganized" See the video [HERE]

I don't see myself using this machine, so I threw it up the GEAR-VAULT. (not 56k friendly)
