There was an electronics store in Singapore that had lots of new old stock Aiwa Lead Acid batteries a few years back. I think I know where they...
Unfortunately your machine is missing several mechanical components as well. The clutch gear and takeup reel gear, both often found broken in...
I prefer in the following order: United Chemicon MVY series: higher quality caps, shorter than most other non Chemicon competitors (eg. Panasonic...
For now you can buy caps from mouser, Farnell, or Newark (I buy from Newark element 14.) The caps themselves are very cheap but the shipping is...
Erm.... CONS: It's melted, worst deal
For a while a P02MKII was my grail, based on styling alone. Out of all the Aiwas, I think the P02MKII is the best looking. every panel is styled,...
This is closer to WM-190 based (has the updated 190 lid and hinge design), but with the addition of a radio on the back, which is the opposite of...
I have seen it on some CDPs, yes. Low volume and high distortion, muffled sound. I didn't recap them to confirm as they aren't usually worth it...
That's what I use as well. Take all recordings a few meters away from the demagnetizer just to be safe. The advantage is that you can demag...
Judging from your source file, your Aiwa seems to be doing a good job of reproducing the music. I agree that on some decks, the source button...
Thanks for the samples! Here are my observations comparing them to each other (Flac played on a Walkman A17) Tapedeck: I don't know if it is the...
I think that hearing the sounds samples would be interesting! It won't be 100% conclusive as everyone has different playback/recording equipment...
That's normal.
The photosensor is normal behavior with no tape in it. Other direction not working might be a cam/solenoid/A B detect switch issue, and is a...
Yep there's a small window... the D6C seems to clip at a high volume as well (near its higher range). On the flipside, I have to crank the volume...
That looks like a nice walkman to work on! How does it sound now? I've never had a walkman with this mechanism, perhaps I should give one a try....
I've found that some models of Walkmans tend to sound duller at lower volume settings than others, and that newer models have more linear volume...
Models like these are dependent on the door and hinge working properly. Drop it once, misalign the chassis to head block and it's knocked out of...
I like to recommend late 90s logic Sony machines due to their general reliability as well! The DD33 should sound waaaaay better than any of the...
Nope I don't think so!
