    Aiwa CS-600 Questions

    I just got a Aiwa CS-600 that is in great condition on the outside. The eject button works. But the tape deck does not spin when I press Play, FF or Rewind. I plan to take it apart and try to replace the belts. Can anyone tell me which belts to buy, or does anyone sell a belt replacement kit...

    Making a start on cleaning up my Aiwa NSX-230...

    This mid-1990s Aiwa 3-piece has spent the last few years of life being used in my garage, keeping me supplied with music (via a DAB tuner plugged into the aux-in) while I worked on my cars. It's now filthy and dusty and well overdue a good clean and refurb. It's served me well for about 25...

    Mid-90s Aiwa NSX-230 detachable: boombox? Cheap mini system?

    This is my garage radio. It's an Aiwa NSX-230 which I've had from new, as an Xmas present from my folks in 1995 (I think). Nothing like as retro or stylish as most of the stunning 70s/80s gear that features here, but as it's survived this long I thought it merited a mention. Depending how you...

With a grouse AIWA Box like this one it's much better to buy already made to work properly with a bit of grunt to boot. Aiwa Micro DVD Hifi System AMA-150 AU$149 This Aiwa Micro DVD Hifi...

    Check out my Aiwa CS-J88 - FULLY RESTORED with help from Floyd! [PIC HEAVY]

    First of all, big thanks to Floyd on this restoration. He is truly the man. He refoamed the speakers and passive reflector months ago and then came to the rescue when I couldn't get the deck working. I've sent a few things his way in exchange but there's no way to repay him for being such a...
