Re: Akai Stereo Amp AM 2450
Hi
I have a careful look. The lights on the dials as well as the power on LED flicker. When its done there is a definite click and then it stays steady. Only then will the sound come on. SO its not a problem with the bulbs but something else inside.
Replacing the bulbs with LEDs is an interesting thought. Is that easy? I have no used a soldering iron in 30 years!

Re: Akai Stereo Amp AM 2450
Thanks for responding. That makes sense as the flickering is the same on both the dials. It is almost like there is not enough power generated. The sound also cuts off while this happens. Once it is "warmed up", in less than half a minute, it works fine from then on.Leave a comment:

Akai Stereo Amp AM 2450
Hi
I recently bought a 1979 model Akai AM 2450 stereo amplifier and AT 2450 Tuner. When I turn it on in the morning the lights on both the power output dials flicker for a few seconds and then I hear a click. This might happen 1-2 times before it stays steady. If the turntable is turned on before the light steadies, the sound will cut off when it is flickering. Once it gets past this stage, it works fine. Is that a defect?
Thanks for your advice.
