Mint condition Akai GX-260D Reel To Reel - $200 or best offer. in Sooke, British Columbia for sale

This item was a gift to me. I am a big fan of vintage audio. I have had, and still do have several vintage pieces in my home. None of them however are reel to reels. As a matter of fact, I know nothing about them. Other than they look cool.
What I can say about this item is it looks like it was never used. I believe it was but it must not have been used very much because it is in such good condition. I cannot find a scratch, dent, blemish anywhere. Including the plastic dust cover.
Apparently it's glass heads and very rare blue VU meters are of special interest to reel to reel enthusiasts.
