I looked through the service manual for some Aiwas, and they don't even list wires in the parts list, or specify thickness. But color is specified.
I'm working on an Aiwa HS-J10. It originally came with a rechargable battery that clipped onto the bottom of it. Or you could use a holder for 2...
Or two collectors waiting for a blue one.
An Aiwa HS-J9 just sold on Buyee for about $1150 USD. On the plus side it was a beautiful and rare blue color, in "mint" condition and came with a...

I've bought two Aiwa devices from Buyee. No problems.
Aiwa HS-J9 p1159918873 went for about $120, plus about $20 shipping etc. About twice as much as it would be worth to me.

I offered $6.00 for one of the bogus ads on eBay for the unit I bought off and received from Buyee in Japan. Just to see what would happen. The...
