I have a Aiwa CS 880. I need to get to the centre loudspeaker to replace a baffle (?) that has become dislodged. I have undone all the screws at the rear of the case which have an embossed arrow pointing to them but while the lower part of the case seems to want to come free the upper part seems fixed still. Don't want to use force in case I crack something. Has anyone ever taken one of these to pieces or knows how to get at the insides, specifically the speakers?

Also, one of the slide-on toggle switch levers (not the switch itself) has gone missing - think it was when we moved home. Does anyone have a spare one of these that I could buy from them?

All help most gratefully received!

Thanks a lot.

Yeah. As you take the front off, lift it slightly, and pull. It is held at the top. Good luck.

Here you go,straight from the Aiwa CS880 service manual.

That`s it skippy, i forgot. Give the sides a tap, as you are taking the front off.

By the way. Like your avatar. "dont let it end" .

REALLY helpful - thanks so much. I'll let you all know how it goes with my mini repair.
Any more thoughts on how to get hold of the slide on toggle swithc lever?
Thanks again.

Oh heck. I had a load of 880 spares. I gave em all away. Sorry man.

Show me what you need in a pic and I'll send ya one for free if I have it - I probably do!

Johnny. I doubt you do, but if you got the cassette tape soft eject dampener (the one with the cord), I could use one of those. Yeah, it's to repair "our" 880.

What is wrong with your dampener Norm???????
They are pretty trouble free and simple.
