Aiwa AD-F220 Cassette Deck in good working condition. This deck originally after pushing play would stop within a second or two. Sometimes pushing play again it would continue to do the same thing, sometimes it would play as normal. I replaced the idler tire and cleaned the reels and photo sensors that stop play when the reel is not spinning. In this case, the cause seemed to be the slipping idler tire. I then played about 10 tapes through, and the problem... went away. I also replaced the mechanism and counter belt. The capstan belt looks as if it was replaced recently before I got to it and is in good shape.
I cleaned the deck inside and out. Blew out all residual dust and cleaned the face plate. De-oxed all switches and pots, and lubricated the transport mechanism. Also cleaned and demagnetized heads and tape path.
Unit plays, fast forwards, rewinds, and records well. Tested all functions including Dolby and the manual bias calibration feature, which is rare on a basic deck like this. Aiwa did offer some pretty nice features for a reasonable price. Overall, besides a few scratches and wear and tear, it's in good shape. I tried to include as much detail in the photos as possible. Please feel free to message any questions. I offer a 30-day return policy, but buyer will have to pay return shipping.
