Alex A-91 + Alex A-98 Akas Lasonic

[deech]

These past two weeks i stumbled upon 2 Alex's . A back to back find of
an ALEX A-91 and an ALEX A-98 . Both are akas of the Lasonic TRC-920
and the Lasonic TRC-918 . I am also missing the battery cover of the Lasonic TRC-918 AKA
and the power knob from the Lasonic TRC-920 AKA. If anybody has parts for them please contact me.

Anyway, enough with my bla-bla here are some pics of them from when i found them :





and some pics from back home :

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

I never knew their were rebadged Lasonic's out in the world. WILD!

 

[deech]

Yes Chris they do exist. I never knew they existed until 8 days ago when i found the 920 aka .

 

[T-STER]

I love that Alex 920 aka, that is pure class!!

 

[Northerner]

Fantastic finds mate!

What language is the rear label written in?

 

[Mystic Traveller]

Rare interesting scores - congrats!

He'll 2 of the best sounding mid-size boxes you can own plus they're rare I love the Tweeter grills on that 918 . Both are f****** awesome. But these boxes are equally badass sounding.

Great finds, especially in the wild like that.

Thanks for the warm comments everybody !
To tell you the truth i couldnt believe it when i found them too.

Here are some pics of the 918-920-922 family and the rear labels Reli .

Maybe a brand name created for a department store in Greece and/or Italy?

Floyd, you are so right. The 918 is probably the most underrated mid sized radio there is. REALLY solid bass. They sell for next to nothing on eBay and I think because the looks don't POP like other Lasonic's, people just count them out. But they POUND!
AND YES, great grills on that Alex 918

Whaaaat?!? Aka of a 920???

Have you taken it apart yet? Is it all madepends by Lasonic the same? Looks like it might be if that tag says "Yung Fu" huh?

They are rebadged Lasonics . They re the exact same machines as the Lasonic TRC-920 and the Lasonic TRC-918 . Maybe what Reli said is the answer , they wanted to rebadge them as ALEX's for reasons of better selling back then.
Oh i have another rebadged TRC-920 in my collection. A Sonic without the prefix LA.
Here it is :

Maybe the word "Lasonic" is too similar to a dirty word in some language?

Like trying to sell a Chevy "Nova" in Mexico was stupid.
