Je ein !!! NAB Adapter der Marke Akai.
Zustand und Funktion getestet, aber nix für mich.
Aus Konvolut erhalten - die doppelte Klemmfunktion ist gut durchdacht, aber für Revox zu klobig...

The timing is good here: this is an older accessory for a format that’s been eclipsed by more modern tape handling, so value is mostly about completeness and need rather than future collectability. At €50, it sits well below the €106 25th percentile and far under the €254 median across comparable EUR listings, which makes it a strong bargain if you specifically need these adapters.
These are the kind of parts that quietly keep a deck useful, especially when you’re buying vintage Akai gear and want to play reels without fuss. The upside is practical: if the pieces are clean, present, and the fit is correct, you’re getting a useful, hard-to-source accessory at a very friendly price. I’d just confirm the exact variant and that both adapters are included, since with niche tape hardware the wrong style or a missing mate is what turns a bargain into a hassle.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Akai Electric Company Ltd. traces its origins to Japan, founded by engineer Masukichi Akai in Tokyo around 1929, with his son Saburo Akai playing a key role in its early growth. Initially focused on affordable radio components, the firm formalized as a full electronics manufacturer post-World War II, often cited as 1946. By the mid-20th century, Akai had evolved into a prominent name in consumer audio, peaking in the 1970s before financial troubles led to its exit from the industry in 1991.
The brand built its legacy on high-quality tape-based audio gear, including reel-to-reel tape recorders, cassette decks, tuners, amplifiers, and complete stereo systems that brought professional-grade sound to homes. In the late 1980s, Akai Professional revolutionized music production with the MPC series—starting with the 1988 MPC60, co-designed by Roger Linn—integrating sampling, sequencing, and velocity-sensitive pads into compact workstations that defined hip-hop and electronic genres.
Today, Akai holds a revered vintage-collector status among hi-fi enthusiasts for its robust 1970s components, prized for their warm analog character and build quality. In the pro audio realm, the MPC line endures as an iconic, mid-to-high-end tool for beatmakers, with modern iterations sustaining the brand through licensing. While not a current leader in traditional hi-fi like amplifiers or speakers, its heritage appeals to savvy buyers seeking timeless reliability over fleeting trends.
