Akai F-80
Not much is documented about the Akai F-80. What survives comes from a single period review in HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (March 1980, p.58). The review tested it as a cassette deck and noted a reject pushbutton and a pause function. It measured 17.3 inches wide, 5.3 inches high and 13.4 inches deep, and weighed 19.6 pounds. Playback frequency response from a standard test tape covering 40 Hz to 12.5 kHz was +1.5 dB to -3.5 dB from 40 Hz to 6.3 kHz. Nothing else has been traced - no production years, no original price, no circuitry or transport details, and no additional period coverage.
No other specifications, design details or production information for the Akai F-80 have turned up in period literature or surviving documentation.
