They are very close... :hmmm: Wild super stripped down model....I'm sure SUPER RARE! You gotta save this thing :yes: :-D Even if it's just to sit on the shelf and look pretty :smooch:

Are there allot of AKA's with these Bolt Boxes? :huh:

I have seen left and right volume sliders (which suck!) but never knobs....that's just lame :thumbsdown:

HOWEVER....I bet the missing push bar below the cassette deck keys is the same as the Lasonic 920 and if you need one, let me know. I have a spare and would LOVE to donate it to the rebuild of this icon :yes:

Thank god you got the EQ graphics :thumbsup:

Looking at the deck on Jummy's Bolt Box, it looks like the TRC-920. The counter, the keys and push bar are the same. If they are, I wonder if you could swap in a 920 deck? I have 2 :w00t:

Hmm this is yet another variation of the Bolt Box
Very interesting.. I'd say this is a later model, with the 5 band EQ and stripped down
other features.

It's obviously an AKA of another box, I'd be having a hunt around for another box with the same
control lay out on top and then swapping them out. That's got to have been used a few models.

She's still a rockin score, Joe!

I'd even be looking at doing a custom Bolt Box BT out of her. Lose the deck, replace the internals entirely, new
speakers, replacee the deck with a dock.. could be specatacular!



Rock On.

I also have a parts box 922 here that has a similar EQ, keys, metal bar, etc...... I might have enough with Jimmy's parts to finish it up.

Had a little time today to tear this boomer apart. Wanted to fit some parts that Jimmy sent me and see if I could fix the tuner string. Gave it a quick bath, fixed a small crack, broken screw post, built a EQ slider, tied the tuner string back together and aligned the tuner needle. It actually sounds really good! The cassette mech's must have changed throughout the different models because the cassette door I got from Jimmy doesn't really attach to my bolt box. Suprisingly though the cassette FF/RW and does play but it is really slow playback. Radio tuner is strong and captures FM really easy.

I also drilled the front case and added the cassette key crash bar protector from my 922 parts box. Had to bend it a little but it looks good on there.

After I figure out what to do with the cassette area, I will finish the broken foot and repaint the case.

Can't believe I just now saw this thread. Thought it was new. Was about to post dibs on the tuner after reading the first page. After reading all the way to the end, I can see now that I might have to wait til Ira gives that box the salt water treatment before the dibs ever gets excercised.
