Fully Restored With Original Box With Accesories. Japan Aiwa R10 (Read)

I purchased this wonderful Walkman about 6 months ago, (was looking for it for years). Unfortunately I've been hit with high medical bills and I have to let this beauty go. Please read below everything that was done by the previous seller:

FULLY RESTORED / SERVICED NEW IN BOX AIWA STEREO RADIO CASSETTE PLAYER HS-R10 Cassetteboy WALKMAN. Fully rebuilt and new Electrolytic Caps.

One thing that is special about this unit is that it has separate speed controls for either direction so you are able to very precisely set the speed this particular unit is set perfectly to less than a tenth of a percent. The unit includes all original accessories as shown alkaline battery tray rechargeable battery tray carrying pouch with belt loop AC adapter and the original manual.

The carrying pouch has never been removed from its original bag.

Old cassette players and recorders have a lot of moving parts compared to cd or minidisc, and most are so old that they need belts... but that's just the start... 

BELTS: 

The old belts turn into the most horrible goop and it's time consuming and problematic to clean if the belt fails and winds around a cog... Usually takes 3-4 hours to clean all of this correctly without damaging the belt tracks and it permanently stains anything it touches...

Capstans: (these oppose the pinch rollers to hold the tape steady for the heads)

Are the surfaces smooth? That's bad. They need to be rough to work right or have traction bands. 

Capstan bearings:

MUST be running smooth, Any oxidation will mess up the sound and they are not easy to replace if you can find the parts. 

HEADS:

Many used players have extensive head erosion from dust on the tape scratching the heads. 

If the seller doesn't show you a close up of the heads, then they aren't good. Period. 

CLUTCH:

Next after the heads and belts is the clutch. Not all tape players have a clutch. Not all clutches hold up. Panasonic clutch is a spring and plastic retainer that is known for cracking. 

Now, after the capstans, capstan bearings, heads, belts, & clutch is the 

Pinch rollers.

If these are old and dry or too smooth, again, bad sound.

Now that all of that is done and nothing has gone wrong with the mechanism, the direction control solenoid is functioning properly, all of the springs are correctly attached inside the mechanism, the board is correctly fitted back to the direction control switch... and you have it partially assembled.
