Akai GXC-709D
Not much is documented about the Akai GXC-709D. One test report in a period equipment guide supplies the few specifications that survive for this cassette deck. HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (January 1978, p.71) measured it at roughly 16.9 in. wide, 5.5 in. high and 13 in. deep, weighing 16.5 lbs. Playback frequency response from a standard test tape (50-10,000 Hz) came in at +3/-2 dB. The reviewer also noted that the ferric bias could be adjusted for good results with common high-energy tapes, citing Maxell UD XL as typical.
No service literature, user manual or other contemporary coverage has been located for this model. The GXC-709D appears to have been a mid-to-late-1970s addition to Akai's GXC cassette line. Its exact production years, original price and full feature set are not recorded in the available sources.
