Wow, Norm that's a really nice model.

Reminds me of the Aiwa 660...


Yeah!

Love this Sears. Of course they never made it down here. As Sears anyway, no idea if they got rebadged/AKA'd as something else in other territories.

Looks a cut above the usual no-name AKA style boxes though, beautiful clean design.



Rock On.

This Sears model can't be beat! Solid, heavy, and thumping bass. In fact, crisp highs, too... plus all the controls you'd want. Not a bad looker, either, especially when you get those VU needles bouncing. After all these years, it's still one of my favorites! Nice pick-up!

Here's an AKA...

I have a nice Sears box someplace.... not this big one though... I will have to check the model number. Planning on selling it soon.

are the meters and tuning dial blue like the 2199?
Box isn't mine, sorry to say. Just a photo. (Don't think Luxor was available in the US.) Pretty sure, tho, the dial and meter backgrounds are grey, not blue.

If folks only knew how big it was, it probably would be more popular. Seen alone in pics, it doesn't look too big. And yes the sound is very nice and sweet. Unlike BSS, I don't think the highs are as good as it can be, and given that it's got them piezos, this is no suprise. I fully plan on replacing them tweets with some proper ones and then it'll be the bomb! I love highs so it HAS to be done.
