Akai AP-D210/C

Akai AP-D210/C

Preliminary Information
Release Year	1982
Leak Risk	Low
Batteries	None
Mounting Technology	Through Hole
Capacitor Types	Aluminum Electrolytic, Ceramic, MKT, Mylar
Destructive Entry	No

The Akai AP-D210/C is a direct drive record player with auto return function. Going by a 1982 brochure, it could be considered a mid-tier model.

Known Issues

End of ground lead breaks easily

Causes

• Poor material choice by the manufacturer.
• Lack of an end terminal.

Solutions

• Add an end terminal (fork type highly recommended).

Disassembly Notes

Lock the tone arm and remove the platter and 45RPM adapter as to avoid damaging the lid.

Some wires are permanently fixed to the P.C. boards. The inner frame is also made of plastic and might be brittle.

The screws around this plate on the bottom cover should not be removed.

Original Parts

AC Input P.C. Board

The capacitor listed below is suitable for all but the universal (U) model, since it uses a different type. Match the voltage rating to that of your local line voltage when shopping for a replacement.

Capacitor Specifications and Footprint Information

RefDes	Qty	Capacitance	Voltage	Mount	Diameter/Size	Height	Lead Spacing	Temp	Type	Brand	Series
C1	1	0.01 µF	125VAC / 250VAC	Through Hole Radial	22 mm (wide)	10 mm	22 mm		MKT	Panasonic	ECQ-UF

D.D. Servo P.C. Board

These caps do not leak, they instead dry out.

The P.C. board number these specifications are based on is the P1021B503A, but they might be universally compatible with *501A, *502A, *504A and *505A (confirmation needed).
