finaly got one of my 5 most wanted

geoffhartwell - 2008-11-22 05:19

oh yes the aiwa 880
it needed a bit of cosmetic work and now its looking good, it still needs a set of original aerils with post and a set of original speakers.
now there is only 4 on my most wanted list, M90, GF9696, conion 100, jvc rc550 Smile

Nice, but, still prefer the all siver, japanese cs-j88. Where`s jefferson, he has about 7.

r.o.y.a.l - 2008-11-22 14:15

i'd agree with that rich , all sliver with the grey grills is nice

jlf - 2008-11-22 14:29

Im joining the AIWA ranks myself this week thanks to this great site! Smile

redbenjoe - 2008-11-22 15:43

hey nice going geoff --

you even have the correct knobs and switch covers Smile

did you put the side trims back on with glue - or the 2-side tape ?

geoffhartwell - 2008-11-22 15:50

glue im affaid, tape didnt work to good,

redbenjoe - 2008-11-22 15:59

oops - sorry geoff , i forgot to tell which tape brand Frown
no biggie -- you got them off before -and you can do it again --if/when you find some drivers that you like better.
