[sci.electronics] AKAI AAV-401

lars@yukon.berkeley.edu (Lars E. Thon) (05/12/91)

This is a real shot in the dark, but here goes anyway:

I have an AKAI AAV-401 receiver where the primary winding on the power
transformer is burned out (or somehow broken off internally in the
transformer).

After some searching, I found out that Mitsubishi (who takes care of
Akai service nowadays) will sell me a new transformer for $129 ++. This
is more than half the purchase price of the receiever, so I'm not too
keen on it.

So: Does anybody out there have a hopelessly dead AAV-401 which I can
get a spare transformer from (at some reasonable price)?

they had an oddball transformer for some ADC stuff that I have, and they
might be able to help you.
