A courier in Canada lost or stole this Aiwa HS-J600 last fall. I am suspicious it was not just a mistake because the company, Dragonfly (which is part of Intelcon) steadfastly denied that no version of the photo of the delivery location had gps data. Anyone who knows anything about couriers knows they always have gps data on delivery photos. I was compensated for this, but I'd still like to recover the unit. The photos are from the original eBay ad.
There are 'unique' marks on the unit, like the damage on the rear and near the battery door. What is your expectation @Steve Grant , that it will be offered again for sale?
I have no idea whether it will show up online again. But posting this improves the chances of it being recognized if the unit ever is offered again.
I would expect a lot of work awaits whoever has it now. Corrosion on the PCB likely and could mean little chance of restoration. I guess you acquired it as a source of spares regardless. I have a HS-G09 with very minor cosmetic damage from battery leakage but internal damage was significant and still is after a huge amount of restoration of the traces on the PCB.
yeah honestly, i cant see it being valued for much else than a few cosmetic or internal parts. they really did just hit the ~40-50 dollar lick of the century lol the last time i saw a unit with that much battery corrosion leakage on the outside it had eaten through board layers. though granted i dont purchase many units with signs of battery corrosion
The J600's corrosion has not spread enough to be visible in the cassette bay. So there was a good chance it could be fixed. If not, it was worth the price for the parts I could have used off it. Not restorable J9. Same one. Not restorable. A restorable J9 before. Same one, before. Same one, after.
