This Aiwa was a recent acquisition. No idea where I got it, just know that I recently went out and this thing was in my car's trunk when I got back. Does it work? Not well, needs belts. Plans to fix it are sketchy, since the Teac C-1 has priority and that will probably be a month-long project. What I like about this deck are the meters! They are cool old analog VU meters with +3 and +7DB yellow/red LED indicators, but with the press of a button meters become "remaining time indicators"! That is so cool! (maybe not so much, but still, have never seen any other deck of that era do that). One of these days I will get it going again. Pretty wood case.
