Akai AS-1080DB Quadraphonic Receiver
Rarity: SCARCE
Average Sale Price: $250.00
These tend to turn up in groups. None for a while...and then a whole bunch will turn up. A few have turned up in Australia in the last year and a half and sold for approximately the amount I've listed. There are however a couple of VERY expensive ones currently listed in the UK & Australia.
I'd be patient, you can usually pick these up fairly inexpensively.
Top of this line and one of the very last (..The Telefunken TRX-3000 might have been the last) of the big-ass Quad Receivers released. Probably the most modern looking of the classic 70's units. Replaced the AS-980. Released in approximately 1976. The Similar looking Model AS-1070 was just below it in the range.
SQ & CD4 Decoding included. A Dolby Decoder..hence the "DB". 4x40Watts RMS......still looks great.
