Akai 1700 Open Reel Player (Not Working)

Looking for a good home... vintage Akai 1700 R2R payer with built in valve amplifer. Comes with a pair of microphones and a few spares (most likely used): NEC brand valves, pinch roller etc.

Untested, but I do know that the mechanical part of the main control knob is broken :(.

Collection only from LS17

FOC or make a donation of your choice to charity.
 
The cams inside the control knob can crumble...I do have spares from a 4000DS which might work.....
 
Thanks Mike!
TBH I'm looking for new home for the item, rather than trying to fix it myself. I don't think I have the motivation to fettle it, as I have no tapes to play.
 
The final days of the Akai are approaching. If there are no takers it's off to the tip :(:(:(
 
You are very welcome to have the R2R. Is there any chance you can collect it?

It's a heavy beast and will be a pain to pack up.
