I finally picked up my grandfather's Aiwa CA-70. Cosmetically it is in almost mint condition. I'll try to get some pics posted tomorrow.
It needs the woofers re-foamed and obviously needs belts. Reason he quit using it years ago was that he couldn't insert a tape. It appears as though the head/pinch roller mechanism is stuck into the engaged position.
I have not replaced belts on a box before. Does one of the belts control the engagement of the tape play head and the other control the motor for advancing the tape? Or do I have bigger problems. Thanks for any help and input! Can't wait to get this baby up and playing again!!
