Got this large box today off a Kijiji listing after a few ph calls and 20 texts later, for $30 cdn (was asking $65) delivered to my door! The owner had to go by my place on his way out of town today so he stopped in and made my morning! :-D

Now, she is fairly beat up (mostly scratches) and filthy, but after twiddling the knobs for a bit, found some 'happy spots' to get 'er to light up and play on all speakers with AM & FM so far ! And the meters work too :thumbsup:

Broken antenna clips and one tip is gone, chrome on knobs (most on box too) is corroded, VU meter trim missing on one side, and in need of a bath as she has sat in his Gramma's garage for at least 10 years apparantly and the dirt seems embedded in top of case. Aluminum trim is also scarred /corroded badly.

Case is solid however and battery compartment is clean. Plastic label/decal on rear is bubbling off. RCA jacks for external speakers missing?

Looking like a paint project, we'll see. Maybe just battle scars, lol

Anyhoo, a few pics:

These AKAs are popping up everywhere! They really aren't that bad for sound or looks, the only gripe I have is the UGLY cassette door setup. Looks like a giant wart sticking off the front of the deck.

Super lucky the meters work, I'm jelly!


Looks like my Helix and Sensor brand both have the external speaker jacks.

Well, the left meter is limping a little bit to be honest. going to keep it moving thru the day, lol

I can see why the woof upgrade is worth it though, as it's a tad thin on the bass end for sure, but I like the size, basically the same size as my M90 !

Oh, the white specs on the left woofer and blob on the side of box in pic #6 (I wiped some off B4 pics) looks like a bird shiat while flying past in the garage and it splattered thru the grill and also caused the rusty spots on the grill, DOH!

Those are such hot boxes
Agreed. Classic design, layout and SIZE, though liking two tone Sensor AKA for sure.

Thank guys.

Yeah Adam, this one will get some TLC for sure. Not that I don't have enough projects to get to this year, but I really do like the beastly size of this one compared to the mostly mini-small box supply there has been locally lately.
