Talk:Akai

message: There is little mention of bankruptcy in the article. Just a fleeting mention of coming out of bankruptcy. The following article (http://www.news.com.au/business/story/0,27753,26149969-462,00.html) does not really contain all the detail required, but suggests that this was the largest bankruptcy in Hong Kong at the time. I think this is important, and lack of reference to it does not provide the article with a NPOV. Vk2tds (talk) 23:11, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Some recent edits have inserted phrases such as "...was one of the greatest Reel To Reel Tape Recorders ever built" This is simply not acceptable for Wikipedia. Please read the Neutral Point of View rules carefully. Good info overall, and thanks for your contributions. Just a minor nit. -Harmil 16:00, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello All,
One time I know for sure that Akai was own by Mitsubishi because my cassette GX-R99 was service by Akai around 1988.  The manager from Akai service depart told me that the Akai was about to pull out all of the consummer electronics in US and it was the Mitsubishi decision. Anyone know about this ?

message: that's what I want to see some where here, they simply did that in the late 1980's with their S-series and MPCs, I know this covers all akai electronics but at least give them credit for changing music history!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.145.117 (talk) 23:41, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

message: please change description of picture if you are kind from
"AKAI stack of historical machines"
to "AKAI decks, Pro-Series line of products", because it represents a series/line of their finest products.

message: What is the new garbage article doing here? the old one (cited as removed due to lack of references) contained a lot of info. The new has no references at all and contains absolute vacuum. What is going on?195.91.252.16 (talk) 12:46, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who killed the article? 

message: References for the Akai machines badged Roberts in the US as mentioned here see external cite here about halfway down the page (at that time Roberts was a subsidary of Rheem Manufacturing under the Califone branch, called "Califone Roberts" and eventually "Rheem Califone" [] ). 
Source: My grandfather was Saburo Akai's point of contact with Rheem Califone Roberts at the time of his death. I have a hardcopy company directory of Rheem Manufacturing from 1968 in my possession that can be used as a reference, though the negotiations to add a Japanese office were still underway in 1968 and that page is left blank in the directory, the Califone-Roberts Division directory page would be useful as it is relevant to the rebadging - should it be scanned and uploaded to Archive.org for others to access, or is the existence of a hardcopy enough? (I am unsure about posting it online as it contains personal contact information that may still be accurate for some of the company officers or their families, even if they are long since retired or deceased.) I have my editor notifications set to notify daily so I will see any responses in a timely manner. I haven't been active on Wiki for some years, and thus I am hesitant to edit articles myself, but I recently had this document come into my possession and thought it might be of some historical interest.
I also have numerous photographs of my grandfather and Saburo Akai which can be scanned and added, but as they are of low importance to this article, I did not mention them first. Also the photographers are unknown.
I will be adding a similar but appropriately edited note to the other two wiki pages linked above as well.

message: I've asked in the tearoom how to create a box similar to the one for Roland and Korg (see below)        so we can seperate out the Samplers, synths and drum machines from the main page as it is very congested and would read better as seperate pages considering the size of it now Ijustwannabeawinner (talk) 14:00, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
