Today, I worked on restoring my beloved #AKAI GX-95 MK II #tapedeck.
Specs and image: https://hifi-wiki.com/index.php/Akai_GX-95_MK_II
To my surprise, I found multiple videos about it and the original service manual as PDF.
I replaced the two belts (although they were still working) and fixed the (typical) issue of not being able to unload a #cassette due too much old grease in the mechanics, blocking the eject function.
Unfortunately, it still requires some work (and material) since the Wind Idler Assy (idler tire) is completely degraded. It felt like hard plastic instead of rubber.
Thankfully, I found a replacement on ebay. Let's wait for the delivery.
What a beautiful and great hardware to work with.
