Sansui SC-3330 and AKAI GX912

I am looking for specs on the Sansui SC3330 and the AKAI GX912 Casettedeck, any?

Yes the GX912 is for rack mount and I believe that the MSRP was about $900 in 1989 it is a high-end deck, but I can't find any specs for it

I'll hopefully be picking up a Sansui SC3330 this weekend with all the papers. If I do I'll post all the specs I can find.

onepixel that sounds great, hope you're new deck is in good shape. The MSRP was around $400 in 1980.
