Default Re: Akai 1720L, Marconiphone 4218, Fidelity Playmaster.

The Marconi service sheet is available from this site for £1.99 - see top of page RHS. It's a nice machine with a good playback sound.

The Fidelity is the most basic. As it has just the one one motor, Fast Forward and Rewind speed may vary depending on how much tape is on each reel.

There is much advice and info that you can google search out on that Akai.

Be careful of tape shed from the original tapes. Let us know how you get in with testing the recording capabilites of these. Clean the heads first with IPA.
