I won this Aiwa this afternoon for $118.00. The good news is that it is right in my area and we have agreed on local pickup. Item #, 22020217205. Was this a decent price,and anyone having this boombox could they please tell me how they would rate it. THANKS,PAUL.

paul --this 950/955 aiwa series plays with incredible detail --you did fine -

(in my worldwide valued opinion)

I don't know about Mr Worldwide, but I'll agree with his opinion.

well - whenever one agrees with me --

I like to be different, so I'm going to agree with PF and disagree with Ira on this one
But on a serious note - I have 955, and I've been going back and forth as far as if I want to keep it or sell it. In the end, I've decided to keep it - it is my backyard box now - because it is not as loud as the rest of mine, so the neighbors don't get too upset. Sound-wise I would desribe it as a mini-JVC-M70 - sounds a little worse than M70 - in my opinion. Good highs, almost no bass - crisp good sound. Gets pretty loud too - without distortion. All in all - pretty good box at a pretty good price - congrats!!!

Oh crap Ira, why can't I disagree with you on this one.

actually - nobody can disagree about these aiwas -- because its one of those 'whats not to like' boxes

Thanks for all the replies. Looking forward to getting it. The seller is very nice and he even said he would meet me after work today, AT MY WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Said if anything I didnt like about the Aiwa, we could come to a price adjustment, he wanted to make sure I was happy. Cant beat that. He also said since I am a collector he has another Pioneer in storage that has cloth speaker grills that he would dig up and give to me. Would that Pioneer be sk71? He also does speaker refoaming. WOW!!!!!

Way to go Ash! Sounds like you made the bonus round as well!

Oh what a nice radio.
This series is very happy outdoors.
