Re[3]: Battery for Aiwa Walkman HS-JX505
theo Posted Aug 04, 2005, in response to:Oscar Stiffle
Hi Oscar,
Not wanting to sell yet. I ordered a battery from a link off Aiwa's home page, thru TRITRONICS, inc.
Was pricey, $27.56 total.
As I recall, I bought this unit new in Germany, mid 1980's, at a military exchange. It hasn't seen much use which is why I wanted to get a factory battery. I recall it can record with extremely high fidelity.
Why do you want a unit like this? A new MP3 can also record data with external mic in a much smaller package. The cassette is actually obsolete technology, but this is a finely crafted unit. I remember it was expensive. These days it's not worth anything without a PB-4 battery. And even then it's value is questionable.

Hi Theo,
Wanted it to transfer heap of casettes to MP3. Just like you had found it at a Trash & Treasure Sale and noticed that it did seem to be a very well made unit compared to all the cheap models available. Was the battery you obtained one with the terminals very close together on the the top end ??????. I am thinking of getting an AA battery adaptor. is it possible for you to send me a photo of the battery adaptor you have and the fitting end.
Thanks,
You have a good day.
Oscar
