Hi-Fi News, February 1971

A full-page "WINTER CLEARANCE SALE" ad from K.J. Enterprises of Watford, in Hi-Fi News's February 1971 issue (scan p.153), lists: "Akai X 150D 4T Stereo Deck .. £130 0 0 £105 0 0" — list and cash-clearance columns. The £130 list price matches the contemporary Hi-Fi Year Book figure; the £105 cash price is this one dealer's clearance offer, not a general 1971 street price — no other dealer list found in the period record carries the X-150D below £109 at this date.
