Akai service manuals from this era have photo-style illustrations that are not generally as clear, crisp, and distinct as most other companies. In this manual, they are not as clear as most of our other Akai manuals. Our original does not appear to be an after-market printing, but it does not have the same overall "appearance" as most of our other Akai manuals. Manual is labeled for both Akai and Roberts brand names and is not a SAMS photofact manual. It could be that it was originally supplied by Roberts. Two pages in the manual have photo-style illustration of parts locations. The pictures are not clear and distinct. We have a 1.9 MB PDF high resolution scan of those two pages and will send a download link for it if requested. Just let us know you want it if you purchase this manual. Priced as if 30 pages. | | Notes: | Akai unit produced 1964 - 1967. Retailed $210.00. Roberts unit produced 1967 - 1970. Retailed $400.00. We also have User Manuals for this. |
