http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2808...id=p3984.m1497.l2649

let us know what u think guys.....i know the white one works...just hope the other does....as i have a pile of walkmans that are only good for doorstops...thanx guys

Reno, what are you doing?  Why buy them if you know nothing about them?  Come to us if you need advise, we're always here to help you.

Can't see the white one but if I was honest, I've never seen a PC202 go for this much before.  A very plasticky early 90's unit, long after their golden years.  

Any chance you could get out of the deal? you could buy something spectacular for this kind of money.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

here is the white one chris.....i may need my head looking at

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2306...id=p3984.m1497.l2649

I saw those four days ago, not worth the price, your better off paying the relist fees to the seller, if the seller nice enough to let you out of the deal. The px101 has known capacitors issue and almost can bet it will have low audio output, if not now, very soon. Most sellers don't know better and think because it work years ago, that it will still work. Plus missing the battery clip, so is useless as a walkman without it. Who want to plug a walkman to the wall and battery clip is very hard to find. Plus he put in big red letters AS-IS and at this point I am unable to confirm the item condition, for a reason. Big red flag, if it was restored, he would have posted pictures of the work and warranty it, all he more likely did was change the belt, aiwa's need more work then that.

I could have sold you a much better walkman aiwa or any brand for the price that been recap and with new belt and warranty, or boxed if you like, or you could have when for a dd9, dc2, or d6c the top walkmans for around the same price which have dolby b/c nr in mint condition, a box one would have cost you a little more. Not saying the aiwa's are bad, just have to becareful when buying them and look for one that been truly restored with pictures showing the work, the px101 is consider one of aiwa's best, just not for that price with no menton of capacitors being replaced and missing battery clip.

Plus the one you have as doorstop's, could be repaired at a reasonable price and work like new after repair is complete, if they are worth being repaired. Most of the time it just capacitors, belts, relube and cleaning.  

retrodus....i have seen the walkman working...and somewhere if when i can find it....i have a battry clip of my junk 101....just don't know where it is wright now...as it is i have 2 junk dd9.... hs jx3000 that needs recapping and an aiwa 101 that needs capping and new belt....i just want a bloody working walkman...as boomboxes are just to heavy these days

The PC202 is a nice AIWA if found in good condition. It is a bit unfair to say that it is plasticky. The case is mostly metal in construction. The only part that is plasticky is the manual push down keys, of which just about every AIWA of this type were constructed from plastic. Although as AO suggests, the price is a bit high for them, as traditionally they go for a lot less on eBay. It is not a 90s model, but rather was released in 1988!

I have all three variations of the PC202. It is actually quite loud (louder than all of the Alpha tape mech based models), but lacking in any fancy controls such as BBE or DSL. They do sound exceptionally go for what they look like. JohnEdward also agrees too.

The other is a PX10 and needs no introduction. It is a S2G member selling it, so you can be sure that you are buying from a like minded collector.

Click on link way below, I charge around $75-$150 USD each plus shipping, and $150 is if it needs a total rebuilt with parts replaced, because of wear, most of the time it's $75 USD. But will work better then the one you just bought, as I make sure they are within specification to service manual, if not better, as I use top of the line Panasonic and nichicon soild state, or tantalum capacitors were needed. Those aiwa's are worth the effort and you save money and will outlast any used unrestored one and sounds like it sure.

As far as turn around goes, take's me less then a week, for the most part, I even fix some in 1-2 days. As far as shipping to the states, it not that expensive they are very light. Would definely get the px101 and jx3000 fixed, they are hard to find and deserve better, then being used as a doorstop!! If you don't want to deal with them, I'll buy them and know a few other's that would to.

If you want to just buy one and not wait for repair process, have brandnew to used D6C's, which is a must have for anyone getting into walkman's and the one that has the least problems down the line and would be the first to buy, if you have the money, or if you want small dc2 or dd9. Haven't even listed them yet, as was going to wait, also have 100's of others, boxed, or unboxed.

The PC202 wasn't they top of the line granted, but is still a great walkman, it was made out of metal, just lack some of the extra features as BBE, or DSL. But makes up for it having dolby C NR decoding and great design, for who it was market for.

what was aiwas top of the line at that time???

The PX-20, PX101, PX303, PX505, or the PX1000, those are AIWA's best, but the PX505 is the one I like the most, out of that series. I know theirs a few others, but the ones I have of this series.

As far as the pc202 I have four revisions, HS-PC20, PC202 PC202II and PC202III, the hardest to find, which took years to find was the PC20. Also have just the P series without the dolby C.

You will like that PC202, is pretty loud overall and well builted and not platicky, except the buttons. The one I think you paid to much for is the px101, as it's missing the accessories, bought a black one mint working for $199 with all accessories. 

in the 80's I never heard a decent Aiwa walkman (but I was looking at units upto 120 in value as I was a teenager)

Yup there is the original PC20, but did you know that there are also three versions of the PC202?

1. PC202 Made in Japan with Japlish

2. PC202 Made in Japan with corrected English wording

3. PC202 Made in Singapore

The rarest of them would have to be the PC20 or PC202 with the Japlish. I think JohnEdward has one of those PC202 with the Japlish.

plop...please check your'e pm

plop check pm again please

well chris son...you were right about the 80 quid aiwa....even on good headphones..it sounds mediocere....having heard the the aiwa 101 and dd9 ....you cant compair this....it's loud yes...but hardly any bass....one even wonders why they gave it dolby c...only plus point..it goes flat out with no distortion....and it is way louder than the dd9

shit if a d6c is louder than this...it could blow your ear drums

Dolby C is great but it only comes into it's own for recordings made with a similar compression rate.

i agree mate

It's no secret that the PC202 is a neutral sounding walkman, but then again so is the D6C. A bit of research could've saved the disappointment upon discovery at first listening. IMHO it was always meant to be a no-frills Dolby C player, unlike the higher spec models that have the tonal adjustments on the PX101 or the DBB on the DD9 it is being unfairly compared to. If you are looking for a Dolby C AIWA bass monster, then look no further than the PX101 and PX303.

It is a loud walkman at 20mW per channel. Sitting in between a PX303 at 15mW per channel and an ear drum popping 30mW per channel for the D6C.

i agree plop...i should have done some reasearch my friend....i wouldnt have even bought it if i had realized it had no bass cercuit....i should of asked here first.....i do want to buy a d6c though....for a fair price....not the daft prices they go for.....i had one back in the day and loved it.....the reason this aiwa seems so loud to me is because my sony xb1000 headphones are a verry low impedance....cant quote the speck if you need to know look on line...

what is the quoted milliwatt for this aiwa.....it does seem louder than the 101...but its months ago since i heard it.....btw did you get my last pm....the walkmans are boxed and ready to go......but i diddnt get a reply.......i thought my offer was fair.....but then who knows

that rotel is still here reno with your name on it

what do you want for it my friend.....i could do with cheering up....if its cash i can pay you now....havnt got anything to trade  all my good boxes are gone....but if you wish to keep it no worries

pay the postage mate and you can have it,

hit one back over the net when your back in front

give me your paypal  info son thats very kind of you....you havnt even heard the latest.....i think i have fallen for a huge scam....off topic but whats the max paypal covers you for???its pretty urgent

decent thing to do bison reno"s give a few away needs a treat

stop it now guys its getting pretty imotinal here i always swore i wouldnt sell the m90 and 1000....never mind the 880's.....i realy don't know what im doing...im up and down like a yoyo

i will pm you in a bit reno with email for pay pal,

give me a week though..ive got two others to shift this weekend

at least you have had a m90 .880 and all the rest ,  better to have had than not had

A d6c sounds the best as it's 30mw-30mw, in my version of the "custom super D6C" I change the OP-AMP to a NE5532, Dual Op Amp, amplifier, drain a little more power, but only going to notice a 5% decrease in battery life also change the record IC and various other components for less noise, sound alot better, putting most home decks to shame.

Radio Raheem, please read your PM. 

Hard to belive i have been repairing boxes...mainly m90's on here for 10 yrs del...even gave an m90 away to help sombody.he knows who he is..had naff all in return....but who cares..im the one with nothing now....and sold up....kind of upsetting but life goes on son
