Anyone have a copy of the schematic for an Akai 1710 reel to reel?
I'm pulling one apart for parts, and using the amp inside as a preamp/stereo/ipod dock/guitar amp. The mic preamp seems to be discreet transistors and the playback seems to be all tube but it's all point to point and a bit tricky to work everything out. I've got it running (and sounding pretty awesome!) with input straight to each side of the 12at7, but would be interested to see what else I can work out with the mic preamps.
The 2 preamp boards have a really amazing hardware switch on them that switches about 15 different contacts at the SAME TIME and it's a bit of a headache working out what is what.
If I can't use them then it doesn't matter, I'll just go all tube hehe
