AIWA 880 ??

[MasterBlaster84]

As for a nice 880, wouldn't be all here pimping for parts now, if we did, right? On the other hand, the one that DDork bought a few months back -- I forget but wasn't that one supposedly in good shape?

Oh fargin hell I hope not, he deserves one that doesn't function and has been loaded with Dog Poo as acoustical packing.

Well he paid almost $800 for it so I think it WAS a decent one. Maybe someone else remembers?

More likely to happen is that all those boomboxes will be trashed by his next of kin who will care nothing about a bunch of "old radios."

the sad part is a discolite sells for more than the 880 which is a top box 1piece or 3 piecer i would love to have an 880 but unless i found one in the wild it's way out of my price range .
