AK808A
#59

OK, I will for now consider it done, it is reasonably accurate on the dial, fairly sensitive with lots of SW without antenna etc.

Now, there is a stange way the chassis and speaker are secured.
For starters, the speaker simply hangs on the two hooks on the speaker board. I thought there should have been a screw, but no, the instruction inside explicitly says it should just hang.

The chassis is simply slid in and the knobs are installed, no screws to hold it.
They speak of some wedge but it is not there.

Sounds well.

I am tired of this radio, time to send it back to the garage where it will live 'till we move to the new place.
And....except 84, and a couple of old models (I have one, maybe 43) - NO MORE AKs.
