Can you ID this receiver and speaker?

[wdug]

I don't recognize the receiver. It sure has a lot of knobs and buttons! The speaker is a mystery to me as well. Anybody have the answer(s)?

Akai receiver I think

I'm gonna assume this is a CL ad pic, I'll say Harmon Kardon for the receiver, the speaks look very familiar.
I'm more interested in those frames lurking in the background:yes: If that's a H/K it's probably a TOTL one or close to it.

If it is a CL ad, I would be sure and take a look at that stuff as it looks very interesting. If you buy it please post some photos and info.

Akai, for sure, likely a quadraphonic unit. Speakers, ahhhhhhh, Utah's, maybe, a big maybe.

I'll go with Akai as well -- forget the model, but I thought about buying one that was gathering dust in the back of a thrift once. The speakers could be interesting -- worth a poke, anyway.

Yup, that's the one -- good call.

Sommbich, did know Pioneer had slanted fronts like that. I though Akai before I saw it was already posted. There is a very similar Akai model out there somewhere ! lol

Agreed, and thanks for the receiver ID. The picture is from an upcoming auction. I emailed the auctioneer for details, but hadn't gotten a response. There's also a Dual TT pictured. But unless someone ID's the speakers as some "Holy Grail" of manufacturer X, I doubt I'll be bidding. I've got far too many receivers, TT's and speakers already to justify bringing more home (although the receiver does look enticing with its multiple meters!).

I heard from the auction house...got no useful info. It's a "Pioneer tuner", "United Audio turntable", and no badges on the speakers..."cloth fronts" (Duh, you think??). Despite specifically asking, no model #'s or condition estimates. I won't be going to the auction. PM me if you want a link to the auction site.

Stuff like that shows up infrequentlly at auctions here in FL. When it does, I go because it'll go for next to nothing! Downside is it can be a hassle testing stuff at auctions.

The fellow who I use to repair some of my gear is working on an old Akai receiver of mine now. He told me that Pioneer made some of the Akai gear and that the units look similar. I would have guessed Akai, too.

United Audio=Dual..


I'd go get that deal.
