Akai GX-260

Little is documented about the Akai GX-260.

The same listing gave these figures at 7½ ips:

• Wow & flutter: 0.15% rms
• Frequency response: 30–21,000 Hz ±3 dB
• THD: 1.5%
• Signal-to-noise ratio: 50 dB
• Bias frequency: 100 kHz

Two of the four heads were record/erase heads. That's all the record holds. No production years, original price or further design details have turned up, so anything more would be a guess.
