I have decided to start a restoration for this beautiful unit although its pretty beaten.       I don't know if its worth it but I ve seen worst cases anyway!

Its my first Lasonic and it has a very nice and warm sound so thats why i made this decision. sorry deliverance for that !

 

Yesterday with a quick look i ve pointed out this following issues ------>

 

1.antennas are replacement

2.The handle is a replacement

3.it is missing the plexi glass from the cassete deck

4.one screw for holding the plexi is a replacement

5.it is missing a knob for the light.

6.The right channel LEDS are not working.

 

After Chris_69 (thank you Chris for that) pointing out the grey buttons

which you can see at the following pictures

i made a closer inspection of the box and it also has ----->

 

7. Different cassette buttons than the original ones.

8. The power cord has an insulation tape and obviously been fixed by a non professional person.

9.The counter doesnt work correctly

10.The Lasonic logo is discoloured.

 

I haven't opened it to see inside the box but thats pretty much it for

the issues that this machine has so far.

 

I'm amazed that it receives radiowaves and plays cassettes perfectly !

 

So what i m trying to say is that anyone who has parts for this box

that doesnt need, i m interested to buy !


This is is going to be my first restoration thats why i m so exited !

Unfortunately i dint find all parts i was searching !!

I still have to make a diy plexi for it ,

find a suitable screw for the cassette deck

and a handle.

Those are not easy to come by especially the carrying handle.

All other issues are solved.

Still need the original cassette deck

but with this deck it also works wonderful.

After over a year !!

I m so excited with my ''New'' Lasonic TRC-920 !!!

 

I managed to find the parts i needed from a member from Boomboxery site

maybe he is member here too !

 

Its Chris also known as LASONIC TRC-920.

Have to thank him in public as this unit is a favourite of mine

and because of him and the original parts he did send over the US

the  box is in fully working condition and the most important is

that i can carry it around for this summer !!!

Here are some pics.

I Like your radio. This to me this is the best Lasonic I've had. Only problem with mine is some static once in a while with the volume knoband a little of the paint wear on the corners. But all switches knob and buttons work perfect. AM/FM/SW1/SW2 work and it still looks only a couple years old. I always get "It's that old? your kidding!" especially when  they see the original sticker on the cassette door. Sure is nice to have it by my side in the summer. It brings me back, but also reminds me of how much time has past. I did notice that behind your light/tape/mode switch that the black material behind them was gone. Mine is too because with age it crumbled. When I finally remember to do it I'm just going to take it apart and cut and rubber cement some black felt in it. But I have to find a tape belt first. Nothing wrong with the one in it besides being 30 years old but if I'm going to take it apart I might as well find a new belt (somewhere) to put in it.
