i have a akai 630dss 10" 4 track/four channel that i bought new in '78. works ok but getting a little w&f @ 3.75 ips. i'm afraid it may have a slightly bent capstan from a few falls back in the mid '80s.
it sat in storage for 17 years; set it up again about 2 months ago.
7.5 ips seems ok.
i've put a 'shim' between the panel where the capstan sticks out and the panel under it. w&f is reduced but still needs a little more work.
