A closer look

A&D GX-Z6100 front panel with Super GX head badge

FRONT PANEL

Super GX head, visible and original

The LC-OFC Super GX glass-crystal head badge is the giveaway of this flagship line. Buttons and faceplate show light handling wear consistent with age, nothing structural. The counter and indicator lights were checked during the bench pass.

A&D GX-Z6100 black top cover

TOP COVER

Cosmetic condition, shown as-is

Black top cover is intact with no dents. Light surface marks are visible in full-resolution photos — this is a 1989 deck, not a reproduction, and we show it exactly as it sits on the shelf.

TRANSPORT

Closed-loop dual capstan, rebuilt

Belts replaced, capstan and pinch roller cleaned and re-aligned, azimuth set on the scope with a calibrated test tape. This is the mechanism every tape actually runs through — we photograph it so you know what you're buying, not just the badge on the front.

REAR PANEL

CD/DAT direct input, all connections tested

Line in/out and the CD/DAT direct input were tested with a signal during the bench pass. AC inlet accepts 100V — see the voltage note above before you order a step-down transformer.
