3.Walking around Akihabara by Taro Akibara

Today it is sunny too. I went to Akihabara by bicycle and first dropped by Hi-Fi Do.
I noticed a speaker unit and asked the manager about it.
He said, " It was Victor's brand produced twenty or thirty years before.
The magnet is alnico. I arrange to listen to it right now." It sounds same as my
speaker(It was quite same as RCA.)
I bought it because it was reasonable price.
I asked him, " I will look around other shops , so could you pack it?
I will pick it up later."
I looked around several shops to find oil condenser and I found an interested one.

http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/tarou/041008/indexe.html

That was WIMA's product.
I bought red one because I heard that the red was better than the blue one.
Then, I dropped by Hi-Fi Do. " What kind of box is suitable for speaker
unit?" I asked. "Baffle board might be suitalbe." he said. " I have many
kinds of baord." I said. "Do you have plywood 24mm thick? The larger one can make
the better sound quality." he said. " I may have a board of 60cm x 90cm
size." I said . He adivsed me, "That's enough. It might be better not to
use center part of the board."

I tried to make it as soon as I came home. I will make report about speaker unit
next week.
