1960s Akai 1710 reel to reel tape recorder Japan

Description

Akai 1710 in working condition. Aside from a little time with Simple Green and a cleaning rag, it's as-found. It played a tape fine (recorded off the radio in 1975). I did not try recording with it but I may before the auction is done. Note it is missing two of the levers and the head cover. I have no idea what might have happened to them, as this is that way I received it. This is sold as is. I am not responsible for what the shipping costs are. I will ship by either UPS, USPS Parcel Post or FedEx Ground. I uploaded a short video of it running. You should be able to copy and paste, but if not, just go to youtube and search "ksdaddy AKAI 1710 reel to reel tape recorder"
