Hurb went full Akai

[docs]

Not only did Hurb help brother Tre with his Akai acquisition here https://boomboxery.com/forum/index.php/topic/29560-the-akai-has-landed-akai-aj-495/#entry370266

But he also sent another locally sourced Akai to me too!!!

Thanks so much bro!

That is a funky looking little unit, it reminds me of the ED9000 of off the Robocop movie.

And a second thumbs up to Hurb

Thx bro! Just tell me what you need

Great finding therm, getting them at my place and repacking them to cross the channel! The track& trace was BS but it got there!! Enjoy it!!

Now on the look out for the next batch and waiting for you guys to find me something

Had this one playing in my living room for a bit while waiting for good packaging materials. Sound is good, the equalizer worked great. I hope Docs does his tech stuff and gets it fully up and running!!

Exactly my own thoughts, stick a pair of legs under it and away you go! Nice box and a pleasure to see.

I am wondering how good this one unusually looking sounds for it's size?

Have been watching another lot with PJ-R25 on the Ebay UK musing
whether to give it a try or pass on it? Is it worth it?

Mystic Traveller, hell yeh, its cool looking and sounds better than you would expect. It has mono/stereo/wide setting too!!

Thanks, mate! ..and a proper line-in too - that's important nowadays. A full-blown radio with FM, MW, LW, SW - props!

There was one of these for sale in the UK recently then it kind of just disappeared.

Brave styling by Akai as usual.

Now fully working, these are fairly awkward internally but deck is now sounding great. Surprising soundwise.
