Akai Terecorder	AkaiStereo Terecorder Akai produced over 100 models of reel to reel tape recorders. This is one we had not seen previously. When stereo came along, it looks like Akai created their first stereo recorder by adding a 2 track head, stereo outputs and a second smaller unit to house the second channel electronics and speaker. This unit has a switchable head to go from Full track to 2 channel Half track. Pretty cool unit. Most unusual styling.

We thought it interesting that this Ampex 600 and 620 were acquired from a seller located on Sunset 3 blocks from its intersection with Vine in Hollywood (this is the area where Jack Mullin taped the first Bing Crosby radio shows). We contacted Ampex, however, they would not release the identity of the original owner based on the serial number.
