Many of the mid-1970 models such as the GX-400D can have either a real walnut veneered on the wood case, or a realistic walnut simulated plastic on the wood case, often its difficult to tell which is which, except that over time, the plastic covered one tends to creep and scrunch up around the top heat vents.
I recently divided my Akai Details and Dates Page, into several smaller pages, due to bandwidth limitations and extended loading time; the same information which was previously on one extended page (which was approaching 100 KB of text) was getting rather large and using up lots and lots of bandwidth to load and display. This has been broken up into smaller pages most are less than 20 KB. in size. I suspect the former page was partly responsible for my website being de-activated, after it exceeding its daily quota of bandwidth a few times during the past year....
If you find these Akai Reel to Reel Detail Pages, the Akai Photo History
pages or my COMMENTS pages contain the type of instructional, informative,
and useful information, as most people have stated after reviewing my site,
it would be greatly appreciated if you could PAYPAL me a dollar, or two dollars,
to help out, as I soon will need to pay for these web sites, and the backup
sites, the next time I expand their content, size, and level of bandwidth.
Of course, if you feel you would rather contribute to the ABCR Breast
Cancer Research Project, that is OK too. Either way, a Paypal Payment
should be sent to:
slbender@myfreei.com or
slbender@37.com only.
This is the first of several pages with Akai date information and
history of Reel to Reel machines, divided by Series. This sub-division
keeps the page size small so they load fast, and conserve bandwidth.
