AIWA CA-30 Boombox cassette deck problem fix
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This AIWA CA-30 had a tape deck problem. The motor kept spinning and all cassette buttons did not work. It uses the logic system aka soft-touch (or feather-touch) control, so my guess was that a belt cut off during the play mode. After opening the body, my first job was spinning the flywheel by finger to set the cassette deck mechanism to the off position.
It has detachable 2-way 4 speakers, 5-band equalizer, LED meter, etc... A nice full pack boombox within a cute body. I was amazed by its0.045% wow & flutter retio. The tape music played well with smooth sound. At the sound test, I did not change the equalizer setting from the original center position, yet, it sounded great.
Enjoy!

why cant anyone in the USA do great work like this you are the best ! Teddy I wish that i can find a honest repair man like you to take all my vintage electronics repaired and serviced Bravo !
There's an old serviceman's saying I once heard "you know you've successfully repaired something when you don't have any screws or parts left over after re-assembly and it all works properly"

I totally understand what the an old serviceman's saying. I recently finished JVC M-70 and there was someone's hand before me. Some of the parts missing, screws were set to different position, etc... at the end of the day, I was able to correct all of them and M-70 became a nice looking and producing great sound again.

@@teddyhashee I completely understand the frustration with something someone else has messed with and you have to spend many hours correcting their mistakes in order to put something right again. Been there done that. I recently came across a couple of Sony boomboxes which had issues - complicated by the fact someone else had been inside them before me and screwed up the works. Took me nearly a week and a half to put them both right - I'm surprised I still have hair on my head after that! _(this does not apply to standard faults which may occur during the normal service life of any electronics)_

Not bad for a simple design - that AIWA deck looks and sounds smart now. I had a black late 80's model National (purchased around 1991) that looked similar (equalizer, single cassette, detachable speakers, etc.) though the tape deck was on the left side with the equalizer on the right. It was dead at first, but worked fully after re-capping the power supply section and cleaning/minor repair to the tape mechanism - including replacing the belts. Eventually I gave it to a friend. Thanks to Teddy's videos, I can now get a rough idea of how to modify them after initial routine repair and clean-up. Keep up the good work. :-)

I just picked up an Aiwa handled one piece boombox from a local Goodwill store for $19, it's a CSD-TD31 in silver or whatever, looks like the tape deck motor is not running at all, no action on any buttons. However the CD deck works fine, and the radio is working great, all digital tuning. Antenna was intact. Batteries work great. Mainly I bought it for a bathroom dedicated unit for the radio and CD so I think it was a decent deal. They also had a Sony detachable speaker boombox a large one, but the CD didn't load, and the battery compartment was corroded, so I skipped it. Both of them seem like 90s models. My boombox only has 3 setting EQ, and QSound "3D" sound button, no XBass switch.
Amazing one !!

I do many mod on the boombox when the owner ask me, but my intention is always make it as it was. But when I found a very damaged and abused boombox, then I do mod outside looking as well as inside mechanism. The speakers of this AIWA were just GREAT. There was no need to replace them.

The price of the boombox is depends on the condition, popularity, and other factors. So I can not say it is priced high or not. But these days the boombox is over priced especially by online seller. That what I think. if I buy this one in locally, and if it is super mint condition I will start offering $30, probably it will end up less than $100. if it is not in good condition cosmetically or not I will not pay more than $40. But if the item is on sale online, it is very difficult to negotiate with seller.

I just wanted to clear my understanding of how to use "boombox" or how not to use "boombox" on my channel. As you said that these small radio cassette deck must be called a personal or a portable stereo comparing with huge one box radio cassette deck with a superpower. When I use "Boombox" in my title, that will give a chance for the viewer who is looking for a various type of cassette radio from the '80s and '70s. So regardless of the type of cassette radio, I just used "Boombox" or "Ghettoblaster" for the search result. So I may keep using the same "Boombox" word in my title, so if you understand my position that will really good help for my future videos. Thank you and Peace to you too.
