This turntable was one of the last things my Dad bought for me before he passed 20 years ago. It is still working like new. Hope it lasts forever

I have had mine for over 20 years, still going strong.

I've got two of these turntables now. I've had a few over the years and they are the only ones I will ever play vinyl on. very soft on the records

Had this stack, since late 80's, topped off with this turntable, but lost the needle in a house move, thanks for the re-cap I can listen to my vinyl again

I've had 3 of these and they are excellent. Well built and great sound. My last one I bought off ebay was new old stock. Was 15 years old never took out the box. Took it out and years later it still plays perfect. Quite easy to get replacement stylus for as well. Aiwa were a fantastic company till Sony took over and run it into the ground

Just looking round for a turntable and found this very informative. Thanks.

Thank you for watching.

The built in pre amp amplifies the nominal 3mV output from the magnetic cartridge to about 100/500 mV line output. However, another very important feature is to provide RIAA correction. Without this correction the sound would be lacking in bass and very top heavy. When a record is made the HF is boosted and the bass is cut. This is known as RIAA correction, this being a two way process the opposite is required for correct sounding playback. Note that RIAA is NOT required when using a crystal or ceramic cartridge but it does need to see a high impedance of about 1Meg ohm. Great for valve amplifiers, not so good for transistor amplifiers!! Fitting a 1meg ohm resister can give a good compromise.

Hiya. The Aiwa PX-E850 is _AT LEAST_ from 1995. Back then, a local Hi-Fi dealer was having bit of a sell-off, and my dad brought home an Aiwa Z1290 Hi-Fi system, and it had one of these with it. I was impressed with the sound of it, so I went and bought one as well! My dad still has his Z1290+PX E850, but my unit, I got rid of it in 2000 (because the CD player didn't like running CD-RW discs) I replaced my system with a Aiwa ZL 700 and again, it came with a turntable. It works exactly the same, almost looks the same and is the PX-E860..... In silver. (to match the Hi-Fi it came with. So yes.... The turntable you show here is at least from 1995. :-) Thanx for showing, -BoomBoxDeluxe. _28th November 2015, 19.01_

I have the same model. Found it in a thrift store back in 2008. Noticed it had a 1999 manufacture date, so I figured it couldn't be in the bad of shape. I got it home and tried to play it and heard nothing but the motor whine. I took the platter off and the belt had come off. I put it back and it played beautifully. I've had it for more than 11 years now and it plays records nicely for a seemingly cheap turntable. I've been meaning to upgrade for a long while but it hasnt failed me yet.

I'm not Hi-Fi junkie or audiophile, but it sounds great connected to my Bose Companion II desktop speakers. Plus the silver finish and modern aesthetic of it is pretty neat.

I recently purchased an old Sony turntable that is almost identical to this. The only difference is the the badge on the front and the fact that "cut" is labelled "stop" instead. It also has a sticker on the back that says "feb 2004" which I'm assuming is the manufacture date. Been getting a great sound out of it! :-)

If you have a stereo integrated amplifier, there should be two matching RCA inputs labelled either AUX IN (or AUDIO IN etc) or PHONO IN, and this is where the RCA would go - straight from the turntable. Again, adapter only needed to convert between RCA and 3.5mm. Hope this helps!

The most important problem was a warped plate during the time, the replacement was not to find by us in a service. Another thing were automatic funktions they were broken down very often (this disorder requested the service repair again). I returned back to use my older turntable from the second half of 80s what I find OK till now.

I think I'd have cleaned the unit up before doing the demo.

it is a nightmare unit to clean. it gathers dust faster than it can spin

Aiawa made good turntables before Sony took over.

I bought one of these for 5 dollars

Is it in good condition? Because if it is, that might be the greatest bargain of all time

I understand that Aiwa is a subsidiary of Sony

From Wikipedia: In March 2015, a Chicago-based consumer electronics company headed by Joe Born and previously called Hale Devices, Inc. announced it had acquired the Aiwa trademark, was renaming itself Aiwa and was launching a line of wireless speakers under that brand name. And also: Parent Sony Corporation (2002-2006), Hale Devices (2006-2015), Aiwa (2015-) So yeah, they have become independent again :P lol

pretty much an ATLP60 but way cheaper

That's a ool turntable.

picked this up at a charity shop for £8, bargain

Just found one on the side of the road in a pile of junk

Dirty records ..

Bleh! I had one of these steamy piles years ago, before I knew better. Brand-new, it sounded like crap! It spun too slowly, it warbled like crazy, and its tonearm sat on the record like a ton of bricks. Turntables far better than this heap show up in thrift stores all the time.

Perhaps if you hadn't placed 3 pennies on the tonearm, attempted to play Edison diamond discs while listening to the audio through a GPX boom box from 1987, you would have had better luck.

@@shmehfleh3115 I think you're lying. In fact, you probably weren't even born when this turntable came out. Go and play with your £40 Crosley 😂
