Oh what joy it is to have finally found my Akai RC-G95 remote control, a perfect match for the Akai GX-95 MKII cassette deck. 2 weeks after getting my cassette deck, I set out to look for the original Akai remote to pair with the cassette deck.
I was looking at Yahoo Japan Auctions as that was the most likely place I could find it, but no luck. Salvation came from Ebay Germany. With one gentleman selling this remote, however he was reluctant to ship overseas, especially Malaysia. Willing buyer, willing seller but un-willing shipping?
For some reason, many Ebay sellers don't like dealing with Malaysian buyers. After 3 weeks of persuading him ship to me, he relented but wanted a premium for shipping. I agreed and after almost 2 weeks, the item arrived my door step via DHL.
What are the odds? both manufactured in Japan, then sent to different parts of the world, a cassette deck from China & a remote from Germany, finally coming together in my custody as a pair in Malaysia, to be paired for my joy!
Nice article, I am planning to get one in local HK market with asking price HK$4500 which is good price I think of there is remote, but they dont have.
ReplyDeleteI like cassette deck as I have 15 deck nows including Dragob, 1000ZXL, LX5, Pioneer 1000TS Revox 710B MKII, Braun C4, Victor, TEAC etc
Thanks and keep post up more.
I leave my WhatSapp in case you have some nice gear to let go
