Took a chance on an obscure listing in the for sale section of the paper.
"6 old radios for sale"
so i rang the guy up and it turned out he had "5" old radios, and this .....
It is in beautiful condition and fully working, im really enjoying this one !
The only downside is that just one selector button is missing so i will be posting in the wanted section for that
wow, beautiful! nice pick up!
Beautiful!
Does it sound so great it looks?
AIWA normally has very good quality.
Nice grab. It's just a shame that this was Aiwa's attempt at 'modernising' the wonderfull TPR-950.
Thanks guys.
ViennaSound, i think it sounds nice but it is no boomer, but everything works so nicely that it completely makes up for that.

yup
Very nice AZA,congrats!
That box look just beauty.
I hope so that you will find the button very soon.
Congrats AZA.
TPR-945?
Beautiful looking radio AZA, a hot find indeed! Good to see she's all working, I imagine the belt change on her is probably as diabolical as the TPR-950.
Rock On.

Nice find AZA, Aiwa made some great looking boxes and this is one of them.
You never know where your going to find them.
nice catch , congrats
Nice clean lines - great pick up AZA!
Way newer looking than the classic, original TPR series. My little TPR 920
is surprisingly heavy and solid. I imagine your new pick-up has that warm Aiwa sound...

thats a beautiful machine man.
Congrats!It's a TPR 945.I know very well this model.Sounds great and it can be compared with the TPR 950/955.It works at 12volts dc.The belts replacement it is not that dificult if you know a few trics.I did it succesfuly but don't remember the details.When I did the same job on the TPR 955 it seemed to me way difficult .The woofers are 12cm(10 inches?) but sound it's allmost the same quality with the TPR 950-very good bass and highs.
This one of yours is in a very good condition and looks great.
This model was't ment to replace or modernise the TPR 950/955,they were produced at the same time.
Nice score!
