Hi! It is produced by HENKEL and its name is Pattex. Water-based wood glue. But any similar one you buy will do. The important thing is that the white glue will be water-clear after drying.
Cool 👍 I found "AKAI HiFi : amplifier and tape deck AX-M400 AM/FM tuner AT-M400 CD M600" + 2 AKAI speakers (90's) in my attic, there they were my father's. Amp doesn't work, have you an idea of common failures ? Also the suspension membranes are crumbs but that's normal, I'm going to equip myself with a soldering iron, do you have an idea of the power required? Thanks
I have similar Akai speakers, but the fabric is torn on the fronts. I have new acoustic fabric to replace it, but am wondering how best to remove the entire front panel? I was going to use a heat gun to melt the glue, and pop the fronts off. Any tips from people out there with experience doing this?
It depends on what you want to use it for. It is not suitable for listening to a record player or CD, but it is suitable for listening to a cassette deck. It's a simple cheap speaker, but it doesn't sound bad in comparison.
@@retrodeck1956 I really appreciate your answer!! I was considering buying a vintage speaker to check how it could sound against the new ones. I like that these speakers tend to have big drivers 8-10 inches against the newer a which usually have 6,5 inches or smaller.
Hi! many Akai speakers made are made by Videoton in Hungary.
Hi… service manual you can find it on the net ess search for it. The general fault of the amplifier is the output stage ic. Or a transistor.
Hello Retro Deck. Thanks for this movie. What kind of glue do you use?

@@retrodeck1956Thank you for the info. I found an old Akai SR-HA102 speakerset that needs some repair.
Cool 👍

Is this speaker any good? Compared to KEF of same age?
