Written April 29, 2014Hey, that's my AKAI tapedeck, bought in 1976. Would be worth a small fortune now, if it hadn't got ditched somewhere on the timeline toward today.
Congrats on the modeling: great accuracy, except for some minor details, that are however vital for it's proper functioning. This suggests that you haven't actually ever used one yourself. Am I correct?
Thanks all the same though, this really brings back memories... :)

Written April 30, 2014Thank you! Really have never used or had one of these. Recently I went to visit my family, I was looking at the photo album. I found a picture that my dad took in the studio in the background image to see AKAI. I liked it, and I tried to reproduce. As you commented lacks details. I did not know the name / model, I found no reference. Thanks to you now I know.
I am happy it was brought fond memories, photo album because it brought many memories.

Edited April 30, 2014Hi, the tapedeck that you modeled is a prerunner of the almost indecently popular AKAI 4000DS model.
Have a look at these:
AKAI 4000DS on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/25823827@N00/1809498444
spool with that very convenient center-to-edge slid for easily spanning up the tape
or simply google-search for "AKAI tapedeck" which is what I did.
Vital details are first: the 3 little wings on the spool-axis, forcing the spools to run in the same speed as they do, and notice how these are in two parts, the outer part being connected trough a small spring. This allows you to pull them out and twist a bit in order to secure the spool on the spoolholder. (Forget this and the spool would work itself free during playback and roll off into some far corner of the room)
Second: The tapewide grove on the first tapeguideknob: the tape has to be steered precisely, because it has 4 "trails": one and three: stereo side one, two and four: same for "side two" when you swap the spools.
If you want to know how to use this machine, then watch this video on youtube and how to record
cherio. :)

Written May 01, 2014I once saw something like this being used. Very fiddly.
This must have been quite a nice project for you to do.
