I've been doing searches on the forum but can't find the thread, and I remember just recently reading someting about this.
I have a chance to buy this Lasonic 931 from a guy who replied to my craigslist ad. Can someone tell me what version it is?


Thanks.
Paul Z.

Also, I know of a mint condition Lasonic 935 in the Wild located in Michigan if any one is interested. It's just a little out of my current price range.(but a really good deal)
If interested I'll give you the details.

That's probably at least the 3rd variant based on what old member fins5 posted a while back. Notice how the top left and right corners are different on the Craigslist box.

1st Variant
No auto-reverse, VUs on the right, SW1/SW2/AM/FM. AFAIK this is the very first one Lasonic made.



2nd Variant
Autoreverse, VU-type LEDs on the left (not real VUs, they just dance to the music). AM/FM.

Thanks Fatdog.
Any others? production date would be good.
Peace,
Paul Z.

But there must exist a 1,5nd Version too!
Or what will be mine?
VU´s at the left, but no autoreverser and a older look:



But MasterZ´s is a autoreverser.
So looks like 2nd version....

Very confusing! Yours has the fat chrome handle ends too like the later versions... and no headphone jack below the bottom tape deck.

Maybe the european version of it..?

My version is like this minus the headphone jack on the front at the bottom( side instead) So there are many different ones out there

Ok, so I'm more confused than when I started. There has to be a definitive answer.
TPR are you out there and could you shed some light on this???

Thanks for all the replys. I cleaned it up last night and I was impressed. I was having my second thoughts when I was bringing it home cause it was covered in grime, but all the chrome shined up nice and the black finish doesnt have too many scratches. I'll post pics and a report later tonight.

Peace,

Ive had half a dozen of these, and never had the version you show.

We had a thread once apon a time, probably several years ago now...

We tried to compile all the different versions, but didnt really get anywhere with it if I remember right?

Collect them all and sort it out later....

And yes, looks to exist a couple of different 931´!

The 1st edition TRC-931 is the ONLY one that matters.
