A few years before.
Follow up on making a battery lid for the Aiwa HS-J36/360/85. I made it out of two layers of aluminum flashing, epoxied together. This made it...
In 1964 I did a report on the relatively new innovation of plastic, for my science class at school. I still have the document. Plastic was...
I now have J9/09/600 in black, silver, red, blue and green. I think the blue is the most attractive. The silver is very whiteish and I haven't...
Thanks for the currency correction. I meant that these particular Aiwa models were made in Japan and so must have come from Japan one way or...
At the moment on Goofish, China, for Aiwa HS-J9/09/600 for sale, there are approximately these numbers and average prices (Yen) by color: Black:...
If you need to replace a multi-wire harness, transformer winding wire is a good replacement. To make it look neat you can line up the wires on a...
My attempts to mold plastic things this small have failed. Either I warm them too quickly and they distort, or they harden while only partially...
I'm not surprised the J85's tuner is different from the J9's. Just disappointed. While the electronics of the cheap J85/36/369 are practically the...
On my bench today is an Aiwa HS-J85. It's in poor shape and I bought it as a cheap source for an AM/FM/TV tuner for a corroded tuner in an Aiwa...
I haven't been happy with all the belts I bought from DeckTech. On the other hand, I've been completely satisfied with the belts from...
To illustrate some of the differences between the early production Aiwa HS-J9 main boards, here are two of them. Among other differences, the two...
As for the blue #15 J9. This was the first player I've bought that was totally dead. The main board and the mechanism were extensively corroded....
Follow up on these two Aiwa HS-J9's. The short version is that I got both of them sorted out. The long versions are in separate posts, so as to...
I appreciate you providing your knowledge of these matters.
Intersting. Do the TV audio channels overlap? It may be differences between North American, European and Japanese AM and/or FM frequencies was...
Would the TV band receive TV audio in North America? The frequency assignments may be different. HS-J9's with TV reception don't.
I don't have that sort of equipment. I got the screw out, the plastic gear off, and the tuner freed and loosened up. Installed it in the J9 I'm...
About the slide switch next to the tuner. I've found spraying such switches with cleaner/lubricant is inadequate. This leaves too much tarnish...
Fixing things sometimes involves trying to loosen screws that won't turn. This is a method that works as long as you can access the sides of the...
