[English Nigel]

Well I just dropped off my 550, with my engineer Noel, with a big list of requests.
Fix beat cut switch, radio tape switch, memory switch, voltage selector, cassette door spring, lose microphone. Re cone all drivers. replace sliders. Fit new antenna. service cassette mechanism and replace belts. Clean inside radio dial. Replace lights with white LED and check all caps transistors etc.
Lets see what magic he can work. And thank you Boomboxery for making the service manual available.

Any update to this English Nigel?

Hmm The update is that he changed his mind said he can not get the parts. My other two engineers are busy with other of my things. However I have a contact to a 4th engineer I am told an older gentleman who understand these older units and I may be able to see him tomorrow. Also Noel has agreed to try to service my Akai. I think he was concerned about the sliders on the JVC. I need to learn about sliders, size, impedance and pins so I can supply the correct ones to the engineers when I take in the units.
