that's unbelievable to see all them boxes in one shop "WOW" can't believe there's a rising there, hope you got the shopkeeper to hold them for you, i would'nt be able to sleep tonight lol

You've got to buy the AIwa's. The big one is the legendary Carrying' Compo and the 1st one is ridiculously rare, the only one I've seen was in Litfan's collection. It would be a crime to let these go.

Nice boxes deech......the aiwa carry compo is by far the best box there....the first box is an aiwa.....looks nice but by all accounts not very good
deech - 2012-10-21 06:46
In fact i visited two shops .
The Rising is not in a good state it is missing the keys
and who knows what else!
The 1st shop is so hidden that i m already brave enough
to find it!!
The 2nd shop is near the street , i told the owner how much
i m plannig to pay for the 2 aiwas and the hitachi
and he agreed to keep them until saturday.

The aiwa carry compo yes radio raheeem thats what it is.
I will have to search the net for it.
It was dusty but in a good state.
The second aiwa was model 500something model with 4 speakers
and a reel tape inside.

the hitachi is undoubtedly the best sounding unit. but i am partial to aiwas so i would grab them first.
(then of course i would go for the hitachi rising & toshiba

take them all and get rid of the aiwa cc's nose ring!
deech - 2012-10-22 14:46
Tomorrow is the day my friends !
I will soon get my hands on these machines
I dont know about the Rising though, if any member has an interest in buying
it i should get it because i already have one.
Anyway i will get it and offer it here why not?
I think bredgeo makes keys and knobs.. if i m not mistaken.

redbenjoe - 2012-10-23 14:35

deech - 2012-10-24 06:07

Thank you!
Which Aiwa??
The carrying compo ??

I agree blue and white and 4 speakers makes some difference.
At least its not your common box!
redbenjoe the aiwa carry compo weighs a ton you cant carry it with you.
The Rising and the Toshiba will be all cleaned up.
The Hitachi has very good sound !

I have a Carryin' Compo for sale if anyone's interested. The good news is that you can have it for £50 the bad news is that it has some issues and it's going to cost a lot to ship. Unless of course anyone fancies a drive down to the Pyrenees.
redbenjoe - 2012-10-24 12:12
that hitachi sounds like it looks = good....
the compo weighs about 44 pounds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its all wood and metal
deech - 2012-10-24 12:22
The guy who had this aiwa used it for his camping vehicle
as a complete stereo system and this aiwa is actually it,
a nice stereo system for this kind of use.
50 euros for it is a ver very low price!
Good luck selling it agent

The Hitachi has very good sound !
an underrated unit, possibly because it's an ugly beauty
remove the dirt from the speakers and it will surprise you
