i had one of these a few years ago,i remember when i was a kid i used to treck the streets with a ghetto,and i saw a girl and her friends with a 557,it did'nt sound that good,it was loud though, i loved the looks of it,so i bought one off ebay a few years ago for £50 with the original manual,when i got it i was soo dissapointed,it sounded like crap,Very high distortion,not much bass,the amp seemed good and loud but the speakers were way poor,i tried to do a speaker change on it but i could'nt get any other speakers in their because everything was in the way,in the end i had it sat on the floor and another box fell on it and made a right mess of it,ended up thrown away,what country are you in buy the way ?? if you are in uk you may have a chance of getting one,but i've only seen 2 on ebay in the last 7 years,mine and another,both went for £50..

tkere was one in the uk about a monh ago....dont like the looks of them

  keep in mind it's only 220v 

metad

is that one particular variant (FL) 220v
There may be a 240/110v version with different suffix

Anyway UK is more like 230 - and it won't make much difference after the psu deals with it

mine was definately a uk model,they were definately sold here,i have seen a few over the years..

yes, of course there are different versions besides 557 FL,

I just warned him about this one.

By the way, this AKAI was made by Sanyo (funny eh?)

In case you will need parts, etc, it's a Sanyo M9840

I'm looking to buy one of these too, but how are you suppose to buy from that site? It's not in english, lol.
