I had a request from a distinguished member on this site for a post with my Aiwa in it,so ok here they are.
Hey your missing a certain 770a Bro!
Go ahead.... throw up a photo of the family with that one included if you have one!
I like that little CS-R10! Mini's are growing on me more and more... I gotta start watching for one or two or...
thanks --they do look better together than i predicted --
very pleased to announce (brag)
that 40% of your fine aiwa collction --
came from my trailer !!
Your right Ira 40% came from your trailer to mine,LOL! Thanks!
Nice looking Aiwa's you got there!
Johnny
Skippy.
The odds then would put 100% of my AIWA collection from the same trailer! Since I only have one...
Thanks Ford!
Thanks Johnny!
Hey Jeff your Aiwa came from my trailer,but I got it from Royal.
Here is a older collection pic from 4/11/08.
It has Your CS770 with all my others.
Old collection pic.Very pretty family!
AIWA is a good brand.

Yes Aiwa is a very good brand and they were a heavy hitter in the boombox game back in the day.
Thanks!

Thanks Jeff,the 660 is a great unit.
It is a sort of personal grail for me.
When I was in high school my friends broth had one and he let him bring it to school on homecoming floatbuilding day.
Everybody I mean everybody brought their boomboxes to school and you could walk through the halls cranking them and the teachers did't care. My friend brought his brother's CS660 to school and I was in love with that sucker,but I couldn' afford one back then.

Very
Aiwa's Skippy, that's a fine family.
I'm of the belief that everyone needs to at least try one Aiwa, they are very nice sounding boxes.
Thanks M.B.
Cool story! I guess that means the 660 isnt for sale then.
My earliest memories of bbx was my first hear at high school, and for the first time they were banned. Along with mini skirts! So I never got to experience walking around school to a 'sound track'
Which would have been cool!
Back then it would have been three distinct areas... the Alabama, the Eric B & Rakim, and the Metallica sections.

yep i never ever owned anything made by aiwa strange huh? lol ,i wonder why now that i think about it .i guess i just never got the chance to.once i discovered the m90 i pretty much been in love with it more than any box i ever owned so i never really put the effort into looking at other brands till the last few years.you could always donate that 880 to the floyds first aiwa fund .lol
I hear you,I used to pick up everything I could find.
Now I just collect boxes that interest me.
right on skippy ,i like to build the family of boxes as well only i collect jvc's my goal is the have the complete jvc line of boxes from the 80's every single one ,i got about 30 so far and some of them i rarely ever see as they are safely packed away .
Sound great man!
I would love to see them sometime.
Nice "family" photo, Skippy! I really like the Mickey Mouse knobs on the CS-R10.
Thanks Bobby!
The little CS-R10 is a great little unit.
It has Autoreverse as you can see and the soft touch "mickey mouse knobs" work great. It sounds nice for a mini.
skippy !!!!!!!!!1
you have inspired me --
today -- i will assemble my own entire aiwa collection and post a family shot here --
so -enjoy all this 'temporary' admiration-----
my aiwas are better than your aiwas

one day i will unpack some of my collection and take some pics ,the only reasons i pack them up is room/and after not seeing them for so long its like discovering them all over again ,plus i never keep my collection in one place cos if anything ever happened they would all be lost at once and that would kill me lol.i think i would like to make my first aiwa the carry compo i know thats a fantasy but you got to start somewhare lol.

That sounds pretty similar to my school. We had the heavymetal/big hair guys.
The country music crew.
and the new wave guys "talking heads,Depeschmode,B52's Etc......
And the Pop /rock bunch.
It was a great time in my life.
As for the CS660 being for sale?? Pretty much every thing I have is for sale or trade....
"pretty much every thing i have is for sale or trade"
(-hore))
no sweat !!
so - now lets take your beautiful marantz collection and all this aiwa crap --
and dump in on the sales forum
Why Ira,are you interested in buying them from me???
Yeah me too... Its the American Way! Everythings for sale! Even if it isnt, its still for sale! Come one, come all folks! Keep the line in order, theres enough to go around...
Oh yeah.... I forgot about the GLOOM section. The Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, Cure, Anything Box, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Love and Rockets part of school... Kids may be shocked to learn there was 'guyliner' back then too! Black hair, black jeans... Nothings new.

why not ??
ok here goes:
from your marantz collection --that #3040 looks nifty --

but...... im IN!!
from your aiwa collection --the POS 880 might be nice
--in case you are this nuts --send me a PM
I guess I'm nuttier that the fruitcake I'm sending you for Christmas....
So I sent you a P.M. Ira.

Yup! I agree Jeff,everything is for sale or trade of course.
got your PM skippy --
my C.P.A. staff are now in the slow process of their review --
have ANY idea what these thieves charge to work on Friday nights ??
Any updates yet?
I never realised how rare Aiwa's where until I finally got mine. Meaning... they were off my radar. Now that Im looking for them.... Only a few crumbs from the table of the bbx gods!
hi jeff --nice to see you on this thread -
now BACK-OFF !!!
i was on the dibs first
hey j/k --
i did manage to beat 'easy skippy' out of exactly 40% of his Marantz collection --
but all his 5 terrific aiwas are up for grabs (i think)--
so - if you like your aiwa 770 box --expect to like AIWAS !! -- the models from that era are really good --
so --carry on - and do buy some of these --cant go wrong.---- seriously
Hey Jeff, Ira did beat me out of 40% of my Marantz collection.
I'm thinking that a another valued member here is going to trade my 880 for something just as special.
Do you see something else you might like to trade or buy?
Before Ira beats me up again.......
Well I have been looking for a Sharp GF-9696, but let me have a look at your shizzle again!
Wait... do you two mean what I think you mean?
The Marantz collection is now in Ira's hands?
Whats going on?! A fire sale? Oh I get it... a Christmas sale!
Well sure... Maybe we can then work something out on the 880!
Unless of course you DO have a GF-9696!

Ira is getting 2 of my Marantz's I still have the 3 important ones.
My Aiwa 880 might be going away too. I'm just doing some trading and clearing a few out that I've had for a while.
I don't have a GF9696,sorry....
