Akai GXC-325D
Not much is documented about the Akai GXC-325D. What the record shows comes from two brief period references. Neither is a full review.
An index of manufacturers and distributors in Audio-Collection (p.41) lists the "GXC 325D cassette deck" in Akai's cassette deck line, next to models like the GXC 39D, GXC 310D, CS 705D, and CS 707D. That confirms it was a cassette deck. A classified ad in Audio (October 1979, p.167) offered an "Akai GXC-325D" for $275, with a telephone number in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Beyond those two sightings, no specifications, no dimensions, no service documentation and no contemporary review have been located. The model appears to have been a mid-range cassette deck from the GXC series. Whether it used a single motor or dual, what type of heads it had, and what its wow-and-flutter figures were are all unrecorded in surviving period literature. The "325D" designation may indicate a version with Dolby noise reduction (the "D" suffix), but the available sources can't confirm even that.
