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.

is this noise from the speaker or the mech? does the unit have recording capability?
given the age of the unit, you'll almost certainly need to change all the rubber parts, which may not be available. Ben
the noise is from the speaker...
that's the problem-- I can't find a place that will look into it.
does the noise change when you move the volumne control?
does it work in record?
are the batteries good?

There is a record / play mode switch that needs to be cleaned. 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.
