Vintage 1950s Akai Terecorder, VERY OLD EARLY MODEL!

It uses tubes, I replaced a bunch of capacitors. Odd thing is, recording quality isn.t too good. No, not muffled and bassy, but bassless and shrill midrange! This recorder does not like bass on record! Can somebody help me please? Apparently no model number, very odd and probably very rare.

@teeder03 I know it's called the "Standard" after seeing another one on the internet.

My Grandparents have 1967 National (Panasonic) reel to reel and it still sounds good with music but it's only mono.

My HD CRT has a better picture than any LCD I've seen.
