where did u find that? I got me 770 from kentucky, All shipping and stuff, it was almost 500 euros!! Not overhauled either, belts was in a bag. so i did all fixing...rollers from germany,brass hubs...exeter🥵

[@nicksmith4507]

Yeah, the headphone volume situation is just bonkers. Even worse on AD-F640 - no control of any kind. I didn't realise when I bought it back in the day as my first bit of Hifi and had to live with permanently too loud music (or low record level) until I added a potentiometer mod on the back.

[@oscillatingdailyaudio]

is this worth $100 even if needs a little work?

[@TheNorliss]

Really good vid, well done. Background music was a little intrusive at times, but there you go...

I had a 990 undoubtedly the best tape recorder I ever used. Dolby C on a metal tape would rival a CD or LP ... was annoying however because the digital display quit ... very expensive repair... the machine tended to run hot compared to the different Technics and Sony decks that I've had over the years...

Unschlagbar in den achtziger Jahren . ich habe das F660 gehabt . Nie was dran gehabt . Es war wirklich sensationell !

I’ve managed to get my hands on an unopened one, still in its box. Is that super rare? Currently researching about these cool things. Anyone got any info?

[@xray111xxx]

@@psycho_sh1fty Hello that IS rare. Go to Hifi engine to get more on your Aiwa.

[@zubberification]

$350 US? I see one here listed for $140 US. Might have to grab it.

[@xray111xxx]

That is an outstanding price. Hopefully it is ready to enjoy and belts and other things are good.

[@zubberification]

@@xray111xxx Just going from the pictures it looks very clean, but on the back of the unit is a maintenance sticker from 2000, so no I think it will need some work.

[@oskarantola2616]

I managed to get an f660 for 120€, works perfectly!

[@artsimannisto5659]

it was maintained overhauled while ago. Belts goes melted goo.

Wick point all of this piano Aiwa is power supply. Is getting very hot and marking capacitors became dried very quickly, which cause changes in distribution voltage nominals, which lead to incorrect circuits working or even to be damaged. Adding additional heat sink and recap power circuit could solve this problem and prolong life this beautiful machines! Currently restoring Aiwa AD f990.

[@artsimannisto5659]

mine 770 going strong,never recapped.

[@Winternightdejavu]

@@artsimannisto5659 everything is getting old, caps can't last forever.

mine he never had problems...only i replaced the belts...i have a video on my channel with my Aiwa rec/playback...amazing machine...i have JVC dd 66,but Aiwa is the king,even with old tapes sound amazing!

[@artsimannisto5659]

@@Winternightdejavu Mine 770 goes on like crazyhorse. Phenomenical soundstream keeps pumping out from speakers!!! Caps look like brandnew!!! Longlive-1985 !!!😆🥇

[@Winternightdejavu]

@@artsimannisto5659 i have fixed numbers of them. No matter how they look like, problem is in ESR. Capacitors drying, make some consideration they are all very close to transstor's heat radiators, ESR growing up changing EMF of power supply (going up) wich going to put circuits over voltage. It is like time bomb, could work many years and suddenly stop. Just run your desk for 10 min and touch heatsinks of power supply and look inside how many small capacitors nearby. Usually I recap power supply and increasing heat sinks in the size, I have them worm instead hot. Just bear in your mind if you burn out IC it is going to be very hard to find them for replacement! It is just info, but is not necessarily to go for some actions, be careful and don't use it for too long period of time.

Not a machine to start casetteculture. Its much more better than a plane starter deck. Much Better. I have A ADF-770. Soo good. Where you find these machines,660...770...just get them. Sweet analogue warmth is on the way to ur ears!!

[@xray111xxx]

I am doing my part to convert digital only listeners to these machines. Fun to see them enjoy them. These are getting harder and harder to find.
