    Created this thread as I need some help in creating a list with all AIWA walkmans using the Alpha-2 mechanism.

    Some of these walkmans include: HS-PX30/303, HS-PX50/505, HS-PX900, HS-PL30/303, HS-JX30/JX303/TX303, HS-RX30, HS-PL50/505, HS-P50/P505 (mk I), HS-F505, HS-JL303, HS-PL55/555, HS-F50/F505, HS-WR70, HS-RX705, Kenwood CP-R750.

    https://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/troubleshooting-an-aiwa-alpha-2-mechanism.9398/.

    All the Alpha-2 mechanism walkmans share the grooved head (in various generations of it) with improved deep bass response.
    Apart from these, there are other AIWA walkmans which use this head, some of these being: AIWA HS-JX828, HS-J50, HS-PL70, HS-PL77/PL777, HS-PX610, HS-PX710, HS-PX910, HS-PX20, HS-P75/P705.
    Most of these use the 0ZM or Alpha-1 mechanism.
