Akai Tape Deck Features

These data are for reference and do NOT represent units for sale!

Models with a 'D' suffix have the same features/specifications as the model number without the suffix but lack speakers or amplifiers to drive them. This designation was dropped in later years when amplified units were discontinued.
Here is a chronology of model production and original prices for a few dozen decks (use Babel Fish to translate this Japanese page)- close the new window when you are done.
