Hello, I have an AKAI GX-260D, everything works, but it plays slightly faster then it should on both speeds, it does not play too fast by much..is there an adjustment?

Thanks,

Steve

Hey Steve,
I bought the same exact unit a few weeks ago but haven't really used it. I was only getting sound through 1 channel when I was hooking it up so I may have an issue - I need to mess with it some more. It is in excellent condition - the seller said it was his backup unit so it was hardly ever used. Beautiful RTR.

What is your impression of the RTR? (other than the speed issue)
Thanks, Mark

I really like this unit...I was selling an older AKAI 1710w to a guy from Craigslist, when he came over he said he use to repair AKAI reel decks in the 70's at a service center, he said my GX-260D would probably outlive both of us...in regards to the speed problems, the GX-260D has a dual pulley on the motor so he moved the belt over and at last it's fixed!! it plays the correct speed, I would have never guessed that one and probably paid a repair shop $100 plus dollars for fixing it..... So for helping me I gave him the 1710W for free....... we were both happy!! :music: :thmbsp:

hi all;
On the subject of moving the capstan drive belt over to a different size pulley to effect correct playback speed. this technique also works on the Akai GX 210d, 215d, 220d... and gx225d...and probably others...
this is a great site!!!!
