I don't know anything about this either---but just looking at it, I suspect it's overpriced and probably worth closer to $25.00 or $30.00. I haven't seen a radio like this branded as an Aiwa, but I see an awful lot of very similar looking radios out of China---under 15 bucks.

AIVA is Japanese Brand Company. It’s sale product in Europe, not in US or CA. With luck of competitions in Japan it is not very popular, but still has good quality.

Yes---I'm familiar with Aiwa as they sold quite a few radios, tape decks, etc. in the U.S. in the 1980s. They were decent products. I haven't heard from them in a while, and wonder if this is truly an "Aiwa" designed radio---or is it a Chinese product branded as an Aiwa just to trade off a known name.

Aiwa was a big name in portable audio in the 80s and early 90s. I remember searching eBay and other sources trying to find a specific model of portable radio/tape player with TV audio to listen to on my daily commute.
The brand disappeared by the late 90s. I wonder if this resurrection is just of the brand name. I fully expect to see the "Hallicrafters" name to show up someday soon on a cheap Chinese portable radio or MP3 player.

"...The Aiwa Corporation slid towards bankruptcy until it was purchased by competitor Sony Corporation. As of October 1, 2002, Aiwa ceased to be a separate company and became a wholly owned division of Sony Corporation..."
