    Does anyone know which series of Aiwas were more prone to bad caps and which series are better/known to still work?

    I've got access to a few and want to know ahead of time what models to avoid.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you look up in the masthead there's a button for the "Old_forum" unfortunately when this one was upgraded a few years ago a ton of 22 year history was lost but one of our amazing members was able to rebuild some of it.
    Here's some threads, there might be more. Plop was a big contributor, you could also search out his threads.

    Thanks. I see a couple of models already to avoid from the lot I'm looking at.

    Pretty much all models that have great sound :)

    My AIWA PX10 was restored by Magnetic Blood

    Sounds amazing
