Description
On offer here is an excellent example of the legendary GX4000 D tape deck.This model,the rare black version, represents the last in the 4000 range apart from the GX 4000 db.This machine is technically and sonicly superior to the earlier popular 4000 ds mkII.If you have listened to a 4000 ds MK II you would be amazed at the improvement this machine offers..even on the slower recording speed. The GX heads offer a lifetime of around 150,000 hours of use producing a higher frequency response,improved signal to noise ratio and a much improved wow and flutter specification.This machine also has a headphone volume adjustment knob and separate switch for sound on sound recording.It is also possible to mix sound with both line input and microphone inputs. You will probably already know about its superior build,reliability and performance qualities especially the glass and crystal ferrite heads.If you dont know there is a wealth of information on the net to inform and I have posted a link for you to go to below.
The successful bidder will receive 1 reel of tape to get you started and empty spool and not the spools shown.The black spool is currently on E-bay.There are some superficial minor marks and some of the lettering is showing signs of wear.However this machine performs and sounds superb!A copy of the instruction manual is also included.
The winning bidder will receive this item in very secure packing.
I have thoroughly checked all functions and of course everything works as they always should eg.Playback,record,F.Forward and rewind,machine pulls in all positions.Counter, record light.Sound on sound,sound with sound.A wonderful example of a legend.Mic inputs and phono ok.Heads have been cleaned and de-magged.Both Vu lights are working.
