Hey guys, technically this isn't my first since starting to collect, there was the mishap with a GF-777Z which i got from china that arrived at my door mostly smashed to bits and unusable but this is my first proper working box and i found it pretty randomly.
i jumped on ebay last night and started looking around at local auctions in Australia, saw this Aiwa CS-660 and had a look, turns out it was only a couple suburbs away from me and looked to be pretty good.
went over there tonight to check it out, everything works bar the cassette deck, it plays tapes but slowly unwinds them and would eventually eat them so unsure what it might be whether it needs a new belt or not.
otherwise this is in great condtion, soon as i got it home fired it up and it sounds great, especially with the DSL going. it needs abit of a clean as it has various stains around the switches etc, but no dings or scuffs or anything so im wrapped :D. i've got a Lasonic TRC-920 on its way to me aswell which should show up this week so ill get some pics of that up once i get it!
heres some pics, what do you guys think of this model Aiwa??

I love that aiwa. Sounds incredible and once you get more boxes that size you'll understand just how good it is.
Mine was poor condition but sounded fantastic. So I customised it as a present. It gets rocked every day now :thumbsup:
Enjoy that quality bit of beauty!
Don't forget to fix your 777 too... If you wanna let it go I'll take it :-)

Yeah, nice one, I was eyeing that one up for a while. Where is your Lasonic 920 coming from? I need to find me one of those.

Thanks for the comments guys gonna wack some batteries in it n see how it goes with them. Just need an M70 now to go with the lasonic and aiwa and iv got my eye on a GF-9494 aswell.
Sazeus i lucked upon the 920 on ebay from a bloke in america hopedully it gets to me damage free i was abit hesitant after the 777 but he got it properly packaged to live through a bomb so should be ok.
