    This was posted on AudioKarma a few years back, holy cow what a collection, lot's of boomboxes included. It took awhile for all the photos to load. No idea who the collector is, hope they are a member here....

    I had this one a long time ago and I sold it. I think to a member in here.

    Akai. PJ -w55 I didn't see it there either

    Here's the front

    And then here's the back of it. It takes passive radiators. Tiny little things in the rear. Really can't be rebuilt that I know of.

    No, I've never tried to repair this.

    AKAI had some beauties and some huge ones, that little PM-06 is a rare gem!

    I'm bookmarking this and it's a great insight into the Akai world.

    There’s one on eBay that’s been for sale for a long long time.

    I had this one time that was enough. I made a video of it. I sold it. I don't want it again. Thanks for the offer. But I'm not interested. I have way too many other walkmans and radios and boomboxes and just too much to be concerned about getting this one again. Thanks!
