Hi
I have managed to find 2 site for you for a manual for this machine. The first only offers a service manual here
AKAI 1800SD Service Manual free download schematics eeprom repair info for...
and seems to be more advanced than you need as it seems to deal with a lot of dismantling and settings.
The second offers both a Service Manual and an Instruction/Owners Manual here:-

Unfortunately you have to register and create an account for this one so it isn't quite as convenient, but its the only one I could find with an Instruction Manual.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers

Hope helps.

You should be able to find a manual for it, many free online sources. Yes you can use it for r-t-r playback to transfer to CD's. One in good condition will typically go for $300-$400.

Hi,

Did you ever get your schematic? I recently got the Model 260 and it has the original owner's manual. I could try scanning the page for you, if you still need the info (if you think that would help you).

You seem to have a faulty oscillator.

Yes you need to hook it up to an amplifier and speakers through RCA cable on the back. And or you can use headphones if there is a headphone jack?
Also make sure there is something recorded on the reel tape in the first place. You can do a test recording of something like a CD from your CD player or record something, then play it back, make sure you turn the record input volume knob up and make the RCA connections on the back of the reel unit and connect to your playback source you want to record. When you playback the reel tape, the db meters should be moving on the front of the reel deck, if they move then you most likely have some sound recorded on the reel tape.
If you still can't hear any sound and the db meters are moving, then check all your connections again and volume output knob on the reel deck. Hope this helps?
