Note to self:
Don't put boomer shelves on a common wall with my headboard.
I had a rather large Fisher boombox on my headboard shelving during the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles. When the quake started I was in bed with my G/F, to shield her I roll over on to her and that damn radio hit me square in the back! Never again!
I have been thinking for a while on how to make shelves that would hold up in at least a small shaker. Nothing is going to save my collection in an 8.0 quake, but I would hate to see my radio's in a pile over a 3.0!
Thanks for this thread....it's good food for thought.
(How many guys are looking at their shelves right now thinking "I wonder what screws are holding them?"

I'll leave it alone for now.
I haven't even tried to power it up yet. I did have you in mind today tho. I was actually considering sending it to you to see what you can do with it. After seeing what you did with the M90 ya got me thinking about spraying it up in a dark hue and possibly even a repair job on it. If that suits you let me know. I'm quite interested in the idea.Gluecifer said:

J When you call me I really felt your pain brother, Nothing worse than to have the boomboxes coming crashing down like that, 
But why you got the shelves so close to the bed? I'm sorry J these pigs make me laugh so hard I couldn't breath there for a minute. Well in all seriosness, you I love man 
so hope can get it all working and hope some here has a center section or another Lasonic of these for my boy.

Very sad to see that happen. My GF-5959 fell once, from quite a height, and the case cracked in various places. 
, I've still got it but it looks terrible. It used to be my favourite box, but thankfully not when it fell, I'd bought nicer and better boxes by then. It still made me sick to the stomach though, looking at it broken, it wasn't long before the accident I was polishing that box. It's in the way at the moment, so it won't be here for much longer. By the way I hope you can fix the Lasonic.
