Every dial, knob, and component of this machine was meticulously designed to ensure that it could faithfully reproduce the rich, analog sound that only reel-to-reel tape can deliver. The Akai 1720W was born in the 1960s, a time when the world was experiencing a cultural revolution.

However, if item breakage occurs during shipping an insurance claim will need to be processed. Please see the INSURANCE AND / OR REFUND section for more information on starting a claim. The price of the shipping is an estimate of the furthest location possible we can ship. We are happy to provide a refund for any extra in the shipping. If you are using a PO-BOX as shipping address, consider that you might have an increase in the price of your shipping. This happens because USPS charges more for this kind of delivery, especially for larger and heavier packages. We use UPS as our primary shipping company. We plan to ship with insurance. If you are an international purchaser, you have two choices: 1) Sign up with eBay for International Shipping Program. This allows you to see the domestic (USA) shipping costs as well as international shipping, handling, and other fees. The import charges include any customs duties, taxes, brokerage, and other fees. This means that we as the seller will send your item to the global shipping center, and it will be shipped to you from there. This option allows eBay to take care of the shipping process for you. Our shipping price is based on the use of lots of shipping material to avoid any damage to the product. However, this does not mean that damage to the item will not happen. ************************************************************ INSURANCE AND / OR REFUND To start an insurance claim, it is important that you send us pictures of all damage/pieces of the broken item, the packaging inside the box, and the external packaging. Please keep all packaging until any damage inspection is complete. The claim process may take upwards of 10 weeks (about 2 and a half months) to complete. Please be patient and we will keep you informed of the progress. If your item arrives with damage due to the shipping process, we are happy to reimburse you. This reimbursement can work in two ways: TOTAL REFUND: A total refund will ONLY happen if the item was completely lost or damaged in a way that renders it unusable. To receive a complete refund, you need to photograph and send pictures of the broken item and the packing box. Then you must package and ship the damaged item back, including the broken pieces. The buyer is required to pay the return shipping costs. A total refund can also happen if you are dissatisfied with your item. In this case the packaging and return of the item is also mandatory. PARTIAL REFUND: A partial refund will happen if your item was damaged due to the shipping process. The value of the partial refund will be discussed and agreed upon between buyer and seller. To receive a partial refund, the buyer needs to send pictures of all damaged pieces, the packing box the item was sent in and material the item was sent with. The buyer is required to keep the damaged pieces and packing material until the process is finalized. ************************************************************* Thanks again.
