I remember well the mechanics and sound of these AIWA decks. I'm looking for the instructions/owner's manual, but in the meantime I...

    AIWA XC-005 service manual, anyone?

    I have just picked this very good-looking player from the late 80s and have been hunting for a service manual. Before I pay for a copy, I thought I’d ask here. Does anyone have a service manual for this player? Thanks!

    New cassette enthusiasts who want to fix their own decks

    I see a lot of requests from new cassette enthusiasts on how to repair tape decks. So I thought it might be a good idea to create a thread to consolidate a knowledge base.

    Looking to possibly Frankenstein 2 pairs of bookshelfs into a single pair

    I have a pair of Aiwa SX-780's and a pair of MCS 683-8224-20 (2-way) speakers. They have been sitting in the garage for about 2 years or so. I picked them up on CL a while back for cheap.
