Your repair videos are always fun and informative. The Aiwa sounds sweet.

Thanks Corey!

Lovely Aiwa. Those meters are pure eye candy.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Those light-up VU meters are beautiful! Sounds like the auto-bias works well on this one.

Great cassette deck. Have a nice break and I'm looking forward to your tracker vid. 👍

@Ms Mad Lemon. Thank you for this video. I bought the exact same Aiwa tape deck back in 1980. Don’t know if I missed it in your video, but did you have a wireless remote with your tape deck? My AD - M800 did and had all (I think) of the main controls as the deck itself, which was rare on a tape deck of that time, and the remote handset was well built. It was a superb machine - especially the DATA tape calibration system and the built-in “Tape Monitor” device thanks to the “V/Split ‘Head” system. Apparently, Aiwa used the TDK brand of cassette as their benchmark for the tape calibration system. I don’t know why I sold it! It was also available in a black finish in some countries. Many thanks again! You and yours stay safe and well.

It's always those cats being cats, doing cat things! Lovely deck, fine repair and nice sound. Looking at the record shelf below... you really could make some videos on your collection :)

[@MsMadLemon]

Though this one tries to be human sometimes in his own cat-like way :-) Thanks. I've been meaning to go through my collection sometime. :-)

I have a special love for cassette decks. No doubt it has to do with the long hours I spent as a teenager, selecting, laying out and recording custom tapes (both for myself and for friends). I also have a 90's 3 head SONY, pending to change the transmission belt. 😘👋

Hiya Maddi ☺️ I am going to have to go back and watch this again with headphones in. The bit at the start with you and Rich deciding who’s tapes are who’s is absolutely hilarious! l am sure l heard about licking property to claim it as your own 😂…that’s too funny. That Aiwa is a really nice deck, very well made and some really extensive features as well, (love that tascam CD player by the way), and the eventual repair results where amazing. I couldn’t tell the differences between the source and the tape monitor, fabulous audio quality! The Maddi and Rich double act was great, then Mr Neelix turns it into a triple act and l was sold 😂 Anyways, awesome video and l hope you have a good holiday coming up and all the best to you, Rich, Mr Neelix and everyone there ☺️👍🏼

I love your cat

[@rosariodagosto6484]

[@normole]

can you please name the two tracks? awesomeness overload!

[@olli-pekkajuusola3068]

I like c-cassette tape nostalgic sound 👍. I see Michael Jackson vinyl- disc 😂

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

i would like to have a new designed tape deck. with plenty of high quality knobs and buttons and made from metal like the 70's hi-fi components, but plenty of knobs and switches. similar to you aiwa. compatible to DCC. fully digital including all that dolby stuff. and a serial interface to a computer/gaming console. it should be compatible to commodore/atari etc. tape drives but should include more advanced codecs that are suitable to different tapes. maybe QAM can be used as well. a modern cheap 32bit microcontroller could handle that stuff easy. and of course with open source software. maybe as a DIY kit. first with a cheap plastic case and knobs. and maybe later to upgrade with a shiny front panel and all that jazz.

Rubber won't be damaged by ipa. If it is, it was going to fail anyway.

[@Beorn-qn5qo]

Had similar problem with a dual motor drm-550 denon sprayed some wd40 inside the motors without removing them and now it has worked for some years.

[@bobbiedixon7113]

Was just wondering. I am wanting to have the ability to view vu meters on my system. If I have a three head cassette deck, does recording have to actually be engaged to view the meters?

[@andrewgardner8330]

Hi good video..great cassette deck...

[@mmuzzwell3654]

Like your music. Aiwa though, not a fan. JVC are the most robust imo. Tascam's Portastudio 4 trk recorders are something you might want to check out.
