The speakers and table have long passed away, but the AKAI receiver is still going strong after 37 years! It is now part of a home theater system at a 2nd home, standing proud next to a latest vintage LED flat screen and DVD/CD player, singing along through B&W speakers. I was 24 when I bought it so you do the math; it will be with me for as long as I live. Yep, they don't build them like this anymore...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918349392209213374.post-91218690635124833802014-05-11T23:14:06.654+10:002014-05-11T23:14:06.654+10:00What speakers do u guys use ?What speakers do u guys use ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368408999191857923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918349392209213374.post-84056976203732136552014-04-26T06:34:01.160+10:002014-04-26T06:34:01.160+10:00This Receiver is running since 1977 in my home and...This Receiver is running since 1977 in my home and i'm verry happy with it.

Thanks for sharing with us, I really enjoyied myself reading this. <br />I fell in love with a little machine like this myself and I am planning to do the same thing like you did as the machine looks good but the sound is quite far from the original.<br />I must mention that I am not a professional myself, even though I'm quite handy with the soldering gun and fixing things. I tried to bring the machine to a professional but they don't do such things anymore as it seems is not worthy for them and the bill would exceed any expectations. Anyways, after reading this wonderful blog of yours, I decided to do the job myself and see what happens:)<br />I only have a question for you: did you do any additional setting-up procedures after replacing the capacitors? I have a service manual for this unit and they have some procedures for setting-up the variable resistors and stuff. <br />Thank you for everything!<br /><br />Greetings from Romania :)<br /><br />Cosmin<br /><br /><br />P.S: Btw, I'm a professional photographer, great photos mate! :)Cosminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00928585303498247380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918349392209213374.post-21664191708899421322013-05-05T01:09:24.493+10:002013-05-05T01:09:24.493+10:00Can you post a link for where you purchased the ca...Can you post a link for where you purchased the caps?<br /><br />Also, can you use a two terminal cap in place of the three terminal cap that came out? <br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />ChuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918349392209213374.post-81235834692169490812012-08-15T22:00:54.128+10:002012-08-15T22:00:54.128+10:00Good day,
