Hi again all,
I own an Akai GX4000D reel-to reel, and love it, but I've got a couple of questions that I'm stumped on.....
Recently, I found a picture (of myself listening to my Dad's GX4000D when I was one year old....... he sold that deck, and years later I hunted one down on eBay because I liked it so much... anyway...) and in the pic, his GX4000D has one of the mic/din level knobs is black... mine isn't, it's silver. I also noticed that the part where one puts on the reels say "akai", and mine just have a triangular-looking pattern on them. Was there some kind of change(s) made to this deck during it's production??? I've even seen a pic of a GX4000D that had the face of the deck in a charcoal-black! Any info???
Thanks,
Bill
