AKAI GX-280D-SS Vintage Reel to Reel Recorder; Near Mint in Factory Box

This unit is coming from the original owner after having been stored for many years in the original factory packaging. Basic functions were tested and everything is working - sounds great.

Cosmetic condition is absolutely exceptional. I never use the word "mint" in speaking of vintage electronics, but I certainly considered it with this one. I don't see any cosmetic blemishes even under close examination. See photos for details.
