Just got one at Habitat for humans for $5. Jammed 2/4 switch and gummed up levers. Lightly cleaned old grease and fixed jamming. Does work good.
Cleaned up unit, was surprised front escutcheon is fully cast chrome...nice and in nice condition. Also, compared to Akai the motor is small and D.C. vs Akai's godzilla A.C.
behemoth. Pleasantly lighter but, and there's always, the Frequency response seems a bit lacking at both ends compared to Akai. I like the eject mechanism but is it really needed that effort could have been better suited to full 4 channel record not stereo only. Anyway it has rekindled interest in playing 8 tracks both 2/4 channel
I started collecting Quad in 1984....sold a lot on Ebay until they went full paypal.....I still can't resist buying a quad record at thrift stores but don't play as often as I once did
