Will have to have a good old search for some Akai stuff for you Deliverance, I have a lot of their gear, not so much on ads though. I'm sure I'll turn up-0 something though!
I like yours Seb but personally i find them to big and clombersome, interestingly enough, years ago the dhss used to keep all there info on things like this
I have several of them........of which this is the smallest! What you say is true but I don't care! Records are cumbersome, huge boomboxes are cumbersome! Cassettes are relatively cumbersome! Mobile phones with shed loads of music on a large capacity micro sd card are not cumbersome! However although these devices are very useful they don't enthuse me in quite the same way! I like cumbersome!
