Akai - AA8500 Solid state stereo receiver

Unique top-of-the-line Akai receiver.
Fully restored! All outdated components have been replaced with new quality parts (including capacitors and transistors). The entire unit has been calibrated according to factory specifications and is ready for many years of listening pleasure. The exterior has also been thoroughly cleaned and fitted with new lighting.

It sounds as good as ever and certainly does not fall short of modern audio. The phono amplifier also sounds very good.

For the Akai enthusiast, this is a unique opportunity that doesn't come often.
