AIWA 770a - 8.75 of 10! For Sale

jlf - 2009-02-09 11:04

Let the pictures speak for themselves... A MOUNTAIN of a machine.

Much heavier than a Sharp GF-9494, much louder, and much more BASS, thanks to the DSL technology!

I love it, dont want to get rid of it, but Ive got an eye on a grail I found in the wild, and need to free up some funds.

This has been in the S2G family for quite some time.

$275 shipped.

ghettoblaster4life - 2009-02-09 12:11

cheack your pm j.

jlf - 2009-02-09 14:17

I know... I LOVE this box!

PM's replied!

For some reason now, no tape sound??? Although every function works perfectly! Radio and Line In are perfect!

Overall condition is probably better than 8.75 too.

(Now about that Grail I found... Lets just say its still with its original, careful owner, and the shoulder strap looks like it was just taken out of the box!)

redbenjoe - 2009-02-09 14:29

jeff --hurry up and sell it !!

cuz--T/A has a tele 800 up there and i have a nice one to sell also --
and we cant just suddenly flood the market with too much good stuff Big Grin

---------------------
ooops - forgot to guess at your grail Smile
its a mint m70 with a new rainbow strap -
right ??

jlf - 2009-02-09 14:40

I may need to pick up that Tele 800 to keep my/your Marantz company! I see he's willing to consider trades now! Wink

redbenjoe - 2009-02-09 15:04

boink !
thats it --trade your 770 for his 800 -
i will tell him your 770 is good Big Grin

(which it IS)

petey.awol - 2009-02-09 15:53

Sorry to hi-jack, but yeah wow, lotta high quality boxes being moved around. Making me wait for the stimulus package to roll in before I move that Sanyo.

Of course I would trade for the M-90 naturally.

Yes I got this Aiwa From Royal and he sent it to me in a trade. I kept it and ENJOYED it very much for over a year. Then Jeff and I traded for the Marantz I'm sending you. Pretty cool huh? Wink

jlf - 2009-02-09 16:38

Tight knit family! Smile

Now... Im not getting a Telefunken for it... My back up Marantz is going to a new home... So, who said 'Dibs' on my Aiwa again? Laugh Out Loud

skippy1969 - 2009-02-09 16:40

So you selling your Marantz? LOL that's cool man.. Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud
Sounds like a dirty switch on the Aiwa Jeff.
It weird it doesn't work now though...... Confused

jlf - 2009-02-09 16:51

No.. Your Marantz is going to a new home!!! Nod Yes

That was my back up to the one Ive got playing right now... Its not going anywhere!

Oh, and it belonged to Ira before me, and who knows what other members before he had it! Laugh Out Loud

skippy1969 - 2009-02-09 16:54

Oh,sorry my mistake..... Red Face

A similar Sanyo sold on Ebay for $75 a few weeks ago. I was surprised to see that...

panasonic.fan - 2009-02-09 17:42

RBJ, not knocking your Sears 2199 it's a nice radio for what it is (I have one)..... however, it isn't even in the same stratosphere as the 770.

Too bad the deck output on the 770 is acting up, this is such a sweet box.

redbenjoe - 2009-02-09 17:51

well - i never heard them side-by-side -
so i take your good word on that --

however --i will also take my big gorgeous blue analogue VU meters over those fruity 770 leds --
anytime Laugh Out Loud

jlf - 2009-02-09 18:51

Ouch!

Did you just call my Aiwa fruity?! Laugh Out Loud

redbenjoe - 2009-02-09 18:54

Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud
yup
---------------------------------

but -- i bet more people like leds than analogues--

so -- ignore me on this issue!! Big Grin

sinister - 2009-02-09 19:03

analog......

jlf - 2009-02-09 19:07

Sold actually....

Nancy Meters and all! Smile

redbenjoe - 2009-02-09 19:12

jeff --did you sell it really ?? thats great--

normally - i would have bumped my 2199 thread FOUR TIMES by now -- Big Grin
but was waiting for yours to sell--

let us know

jlf - 2009-02-09 19:24

Yep!

Pending payment, which should be along shortly... Dibs be spoken! Big Grin

Now... Whos up for RBJ's?!

skippy1969 - 2009-02-09 19:30

Very cool man! Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2009-02-09 19:30

Nice going jeff --and thanks for the good plugs Smile

l.lopez - 2009-02-17 23:56

Did you forget to set the function switch to cassette? Red Face Leaving Laugh Out Loud

l.lopez - 2009-02-18 13:52

It was the Dolby switch it was in on position, I just switched it back and forth and whala sounds very good thanks Jeff Big Grin. I will post pics tongiht as soon as I get home from work Smile.

jlf - 2009-02-18 19:01

Ah... Ive noticed that about switches before, sometimes functions start working again if you work the switch a bit.

Gee.... I wonder how good the cassette deck sounds? Confused
