AIWA V-1200 Stereo System super rare top of the line 1985. Beautifuly Restored.

Description: This rare V-1200 mini system is the top of the line from AIWA in 1985. I have had this system up on YouTube for a few years. The year of Live-Aid! Madonna, Huey Lewis, Simple Minds, Duran Duran, A-Ha and more were on the radio and MTV. The cassette medium was king and CDs were expensive and scarce. This set features an easy connection rack system that AIWA was using during this era that includes a remote control component that houses the remote. The set has had many hours of restoration work done. This set is a technological wonder of Japanese electronics. In my opinion, this set marks some of the very last great marvels from AIWA in the fabulous 1980s. This unit features an "engineering triumph" double cassette deck that has a 5 cassette changer on the left side. The changer side of the deck allows for a 5 tape, pre-loaded sorting cartridge. Both sides offer auto-reverse, Dolby B&C. The changer side offers extensive programing of cassette and track order. The unique AFBS (Acoustic Feedback System) speaker system features a microphone set up to read low frequency sound waves and negatively feeds them back to the amplifier. This system can cleanly reproduce, tighter, more dynamic bass frequency with less distortion. The cool square, honeycomb-structure combined with the AFBS allows this unit to sound like systems 3 times the size & cost. The original tweeters were blown when I acquired the set. I have installed a set of titanium dome tweeters with custom made backing plates that look great and sound even better. The linear turntable has a music search feature that allows for one to select the specific track or order of tracks to be played on vinyl LPs. The amplifier is a high-output, high efficiency toroidal transformer with large filter caps. It features a real-time specturm analyzer display. The pre-amp has a set of stereo audio auxiliary outs, so a sub-woofer with a cross-over could be added if desired. Output is 100 watts per channel with ultra-low harmonic distortion. There are multi-pin DIN connections for the AFBS speakers on set A. Set B is a standard wire jacks for 8 ohm speakers. Signal to Noise is 110 db. The pre-amp has a 7 band graphic EQ for precise tonal control. A DSL system circuit is included for a deeper low end if desired. When the V-1200 system was first offered, it featured a DX-770 CD player (included - not shown). As shown in the video, the DX-1200 is used as that is what AIWA wanted for the V-1200 system and included the little red color patch near the power switch.
