Hi all, Back story i'm getting old and feeling nostalgic so my father collected all my electronics stuff up in the loft and posted it to me as part of my bday present, that obviously led to work of cleaning and replacing drive rubbers etc. The Aiwa HS-P3x has one loose wire which connects from the rear case where there is an aerial loop to the pcb. I cannot find a manual, been scouring Buyee.jp and youtube just incase someone has opened one up and it shows the pcb pin to solder too no joy. I had enough fun working out which drive rubber I needed found out the internal drive mechanism is exactly the same as a HS-J02 so that is sorted . So i am after some knowledge and or wisdom, manual or picture of a HS-p3x with the rear cover removed with black wire still attached to pcb if anyone has any info would really appreciate it. Please see pics of the unit, can post more if needed.
Hello Rappzy, Attached is a picture with the soldering point marked for connecting the antenna cable. My device is an original model from 1985, purchased in Singapore. The antenna should therefore be able to send the desired signals to the AIWA headphones again. I gather from your post that you have already found the right drive rubber for this device and also know how to replace it. If you could help me here, I might be able to bring my relic back to life.

His board looks like it had some modifications with that new board inserted, does yours have the same thing? I love the FM transmitting models, not only did they have portables but Technics had a TT and some manufactures used it for "wireless" headphones. In the USA this was very regulated, usually something like the 88.3 band or around there, so we didn't see these cool models.
