SOLD: Akai 1710W tube reel to reel-Brisbane

[KBnewbie]

Got an Akai 1710W four track stereo reel to reel player recorder up for grabs. The specifications are easily obtainable from the web as is user and service manual. This model is from the 60's and is a tube / valve model ( 6CA4, 12AT7, 6AR5 x 3). Has internal loudspeakers. Picked it up from a recycle shop, appears to play OK have not tried recording with it, no blank tapes. The laminated ply back is de-laminating on the first veneer layer. Can demo playing a tape upon collection, offered as is. Also comes with a number of prerecorded tapes.
There is a cool youtube video letting you know how a fully restored 1710W sounds like using the preamp out.

Just listed it on Gumtree Brisbane for $60. For Turtlerockers $50 pick up from Alexandra Hills.
Most likely way too heavy / expensive to freight.
