Repair needed on obsolete cassette player
Hi, I have an Aiwa handheld cassette player that I would like to have
repaired. Aiwa won't repair it (too old), and I can't find a place that will do it. It was purchased in 1988, and I really like it because of the equalizer feature and the all-metal compact design. It emits a shrill noise when I try and play a tape, that's all I know about the problem. If you can recommend a repair person or place, I would really appreciate it. Regards, Brad |

Take it to a local service center that does many of these types of
units. Their techs will have a lot of experience, and they may have compatible spare parts if required. This may cost a number of dollars, but you will have a better chance of having it fixed, than doing it yourself. Jerry G. ====== |

In the meantime, put a blank cassette in there and put it into record mode, then stop it, then record again, etc. Do this several times. It should work OK for a while. Mark Z. |
