I’ve bought another cassette deck… why oh why

[kramer2020]

Well I’ve bought another cassette deck (arriving next week) in vain hope that this nearly 50 year old machine will not require its belts replacing… or worse the idler wheels only made on the moon of Pandora.

But as you can see it’s rather nice looking and any repair concerns went out the window along with £50. Pray for me people..

I feel your hobby exists to help others 🙏

I do love the look of those Aiwa’s. Hope it’s in salvageable condition.

That Aiwa looks fairly similar to my JVC KD21, hope you find it in working order.

I should do something with mine really, as I also own decks from Pioneer, Sony, Akai, Nad and have the option of inheriting an Aiwa.

(I liked the manual piano key decks when it came to the (very) tight editing I used to do.
The otherwise nice Pioneer (CTF-850) has soft touch buttons, with solenoid operation - crazy as it sounds, the half- second delay made all the difference to me 🤪).

I love the look of your 50 year old cassette deck.
I've been harbouring my own guilty pleasure a Tascam DAT deck but I have nowhere to put it, otherwise I would have grabbed it in a flash.
You can get a good second hand model at a reasonable price.
