From the seller
Vintage Akai GX-280D-SS is a classic, highly specialized piece of vintage audio hardware from the golden era of reel-to-reel tape recording. Released in the early 1970s (around 1973), the "-SS" suffix stands for Surround Stereo or Solid State quadraphonic, designating it as a true 4-channel discrete multi-channel tape deck designed to handle the short-lived but fascinating quadraphonic sound wave.
