Akai tape recorder parts

[sal_49]

I am looking for a capstan bushing for my akai 1710 tape recorder, reel to reel. Can you help me?

take it out and measure it with calipers, order a bushing from Kaman Bearing, or other industrial supply.
You probably won't find many original replacement parts, anywhere.

Hi Sal. Take a look at grandcanyontuberadio.com. They sell Capstan sleeves for all Akai models.

Hope this helps.
