I'm about to throw away an Akai AD-6300 cassette deck. If anyone needs spares, let me know soon.
Here is a photo (not mine):

Made the hairs on the back off my neck stand up. That was our first cassette deck around 1976.
In later years I was mean to it. Left it unloved in an old damp shed at the bottom of the garden where it caught rust and died.

**That would be an AIWA, Franc. And, sadly, nothing of any real value in there. The later, more upmarket models were more interesting, with meters that have two complete movements in the same housing. That was about all you could be bothered salvaging.
Nonetheless, thanks for thinking of us.
PS: Kinda reminds me of a situation about 10 years ago, when a Proton CD player landed on the bench. The only fault was the display. Two months earlier, I had thrown out the same model machine, due to a faulty and uneconomical to replace, laser mech. The display was fine. If only I'd kept it for spares....

I keep someone's set of 3 of these Aiwa things going, right pain to work on. Only ever perished rubber problems IIRC.
looks like a solid deck, shame I'm not nearer.
offer it on here, see if anyone near you will take it:
