I'm soooooo stoked!!!!! Dropped my Lasonic off about 3 weeks ago to have the power button repaired. The tape decks wouldn't work, and a wire was loose on the LED meters. Plus it was missing one antenna. Well anyway, he fixed the tape decks. The motor was fine. He said it was a bad capacitor. The power button was kicking off because of a surge. He said he moved something away from the power switch and sprayed it with contact cleaner. Works like a champ. LED wire was super easy fix. And the antenna just came in last night.

So guess the grand total of the bill???

Yep, $50 bucks!!! Can you believe it???? Now I will have a completely functional Lasonic 975.... in NEAR mint condition for a total of $50 bucks.... I found it on the curb on trash day.

My only mistake with this unit.... when I first started cleaning it I was kind of bummed because the front of it was bubbling up. I thought the plastic was junk or something. Turns out it was the ORIGINAL factory protective plastic still on it!!!! So dumb me, I peeled it off. But I did leave the plasic that covers the tuning dial on.

If only I discovered this site a little bit earlier. I prob peeled off about $100 worth off film in resale value???? Hahah. Who knows. On the good side though..... Man, the plastic underneath is perfect. Not a scratch on it.

I will post some REAL pics soon. Got to get something other then my phone camera.

Left my nice camera in my friends car after a night out of darts and drinking.... but that is a whole other story....

Nice news JD3, now you just enjoy wit that boomer.

I'm shure that in the future you will not mess anymore with any bubbles

you can always get some more plastic cover in it's place

great find and we're all stoked for you

welldone repair man as well

Good deal. Thats a bargain to have someone fix it for 50 bucks.
