Just got this monster 3 piece Aiwa MDL CA-W20 from 1984 on my front porch today and it's heavier than I ever imagined! And this is without 9 D cell batteries! Anyhow, it is in need of repair on both cassette decks which are fully computerized with some kind of random track select dubbing system for ultimate mix tape creating! It will be very interesting to try and get this up and working properly! I shall be updating this post as I go.
Love the oddball boxes - especially if it's an Aiwa! Never, ever seen this model before. I'm definitely curious to see this one up and running.
Ooohh now that looks nice, I bety the decks are complicated but will be super nice if you get em running.
After hours of working on it and getting ready to putting it back together, I plugged it in and heard a pop and smoke came rolling out of it, the metal sheid plate got installed wrong and shorted out the amp. The foam on the speakers were completely deteriorated anyway. I trashed this project.
Don't worry mate, i had the same box and threw it out it was beyond repair but i paid a small fortune for mine, you can't win em all ehh
Yeah, $115 right in the bin. Looks like I need to find some more stuff at the thrift to sell on the 'bay!
