Akai AT-2650
Not much information survives on the Akai AT-2650. The model shows up in period tuner test reports from around 1979-1980, but the archive's source material keeps only fragments. There are no production years, no original price, no circuit details and no market context.
The most useful surviving extract is from HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (November 1979, p.63). It records a tuner with:
- AM/FM selection, plus a noise-cancel switch meant to suppress impulse-type noises
- FM antenna input: 75/300 ohms
- AM: built-in rod antenna and an external antenna connection
- Dimensions: 17.3 × 5.7 × 14.5 in (W×H×D); weight: 16.5 lb
That is about all the verified record holds. Usable sensitivity, stereo quieting, THD and the AT-2650's place in Akai's lineup are not in the material on hand, so this page is short.
