Aiwa AD-S10 is actually the AD-F260 in most markets. For some special reasons, some models are relabeled for the US market, and possibly for some other markets too. Powers on but not fully tested.

From a nice estate, has not been used in years, I did try it out with a tape, functions worked but play was kind of acting up, would play slow than fast. Sore it needs a new belt and cleaning. The left meter needle would not sweep, right meter would move as tape played, I did not hook it up to an amp. Over all decent unit that will need to be serviced.
