AIWA AD6500 Recommissioning - The project is now complete!!

That's right!!
The Aiwa project is now complete.
Today, I run through what I have done, carry out a final repair and test the deck.
It has been an interesting project and a great learning experience. The project is now complete and the tape deck can be pressed into service.

Hi JCT , Excellent set of videos.Can you please give me the spec for your replacement motor, as the originals are like chickens teeth.Thanks

Hello, in the end I used a Matsushita motor that was slightly newer. The Aiwa motor actually has an outer casing, and inside is the matsushita motor with onboard motor controller. I searched eBay for ‘matsushita 16v dc motor’ and found a number of results. The only down side is I cannot use the original Aiwa motor body, so run the motor with no outer body, just the Matsushita motor casing. Wiring, positive to positive, negative to negative as before. I removed the pulley from the original motor and pressed it onto the new motor. It works, you can fine tune the speed using the trimmer on the controller or the adjuster screw under the capstan flywheel.
