AKAI Pro-1000 Open Reel-to-Reel Tape Deck

The Akai PRO-1000 was a semi-professional open reel-to-reel tape recorder deck which made in between 1977 and 1982. The primary market was the US, Canada, and Japan, with limited availability in Europe.

I always impressed about these open-reel decks, they are so massive, powerful and huge while they are also precious and particular. They were also a beautiful decoration of the room, as soon as a person entered in, they immediately attracted attention.

Features:

• rotating reels (motor driven)

• moving VU meters (motor driven)

• rotatable knobs

• switchable switches

Reel-to-reel decks are iconic technical devices that marks an era. The digital age has replaced these now cult-like beautiful analog machines, but with this Lego built, we can relive this bygone era, it could be an impressive object of a room not just for a LEGO fan but also a HI-FI enthusiast.
