I would use Larry's Akai M8 as an example, if you are willing to make an offer, Lee. There are so many factors to consider, but if it's in similar physical and operating condition, use Larry's as a guide.

Mine doesn't have speaker cabinets. My speakers are built in.

This has separate cabinets and the tape deck itself is in a carrying case.

 

[speakerman1]

Any pics? Mine has 2 mono tube amps and the speakers on top.

Well if you are going to pay in the neighborhood of what Larry paid you should be getting change back from your $5.

Like Larry said, these usually have the transport on top and two mono tube amps on the bottom with "doors" on the side to open for the speakers.

If the one you are looking at has external cabs are the made by Akai? I could not see them being worth anything as added value really unless you were an Akai collector (unless they are JBL's, Tannoy's, Altec.....)

Working unit in nice condition usually sell for $50-100. I've never paid over $50 for one. I had 4 set of mono blocks but sold two recently to fund two other families Christmas'.

What are they asking for it?

 

[laatsch55]

100.00

Fair enough and you probably should grab it as you might be surprised what a couple watts on the K-horns will do

Two metal doors similar to the X-1800SD I have, on the sides?

And YES! In working order it's worth it!

Just because the one I had was free and came from a store basement?!?

 

[laatsch55]

Paul it's not bwhat a couple watts on the K-Horns that surprise me it's the 400-500 range that trip my trigger.

I guess that was my point. Knowing you love the 500 watt range I just thought you may be pleasantly surprise what a cool little SE amp can do.

I'll keep my mouth shut from now on

 

[laatsch55]

What does SE mean Paul????

 

[speakerman1]

Single Ended. An explanation is out of the question from me. Then you have Push-Pulls.

Rex explain it please.

And then you have your little SET's....Single Ended Triode which gets some folks panties very damp and nice and warm in their 'happy place' , usually only 2 or 3 watts max output.
