I just received my Aiwa from henrytai after nearly two months of travel time. The box was packed well, lots of bubble wrap and a foam protective outer layer. I know henrytai has received his knocks for packaging but my package was packed for any reasonable handling.

great news for both you and henry

what aiwa model is it ?

Yay for Henry! Oh, no... I've been hanging around Nicolle too long.

Seriously though, that's great to hear MB84.

It's the CS75X, apparantly an Asian only model but very similar to the CS660 with a different face and a few extra knobs for recording. I didn't realize it had the FM band that only goes up to 90Mhz so the radio is just about useless (My slip up). Oh well it's a cool box and it didn't cost all that much even with shipping from Hong Kong.

Good to hear and good job on posting having received it well.Yay for Henry. Now lets see those Pics...

good to here that mb84 ther may be a posiblity that you may change the tuning cap to get it to go all the way to 108 i have heard stories of guys that have done that, and when you get a change how about a free pic view of that aiwa

cool, but 2 months? looks a torture loooooong wait, is to kiss the postman when you saw him. congrats

I've replaced tuning caps before but my knowledge doesn't go far enough yet to know what to change to make that happen. I'm open to any help and It wouldn't really hurt to use this box to learn on since the tuner is already pretty useless.

As for the requests for pics I'll give it a quick clean and take a few pics to post.

Thanks everybody it sure is nice when a transaction goes through OK, even if it took nearly two months to receive the box. Talk about a lesson in patience!

Here's the box I received from henrytai. It needs some work but I think it's a pretty nice looker.
