That's so cool!  Those old analog recorders are quite nice!

This is what I dug up in a search:
AKAI Reel to Reel Tape Decks Guide
AKAI GX 625 Video

This seems to be an AKAI fan site, and that dude might be able to photocopy the manual for you:

Hopefully this can help get you started...

I'm glad that the links were helpful!

If you get that fixed up, you could likely do some authentic analog effects with your recording.  Tape delay and the real flange where you move the tape with your finger might sound awesome!
