I think it's time we once and for all make a dedicate sticky post about all the 931 variations . I attempted to do this ages ago and now can't find the post.
With Frank's one with yet another deck key variation i think it brings it up to either seven or eight variations.
I'll get on this tonight when I get home from work. In the meantime, can everyone post their photos of their 931's here?
I know someone (maybe blu_fuz?) has the rare edition with the different coloured graphics around the power button and elsewhere.
Rock On.

Rick this is a great idea that I pondered doing for the sake of cataloging the many different variations of 931.Gluecifer said:
Im not sure how i feel about the theory of first second or third editions and if there is any proof positive to back that theory up.
I called Lasonic today to find out if there were any veteran employees still there from back in the eighties.
I wanted to see if I could gather any info in regards to production and to maybe shed some light on the variations.
No luck there. All the employees are brand new.
When you start the thread I think all 931 owners should post up all the specifics of their 931 and hopefully a date code if available.
Show pics of differences
Single antenna vs dual
Soft touch
Auto reverse
Inputs/ outputs
Headphone jack or lack of
Tuner bands
VU location
Graffics differences
Deck key differences
I have already taken pics of mine and gathered the date code

This is what an actual date code looks like usually... I think that box is a bit older 1985 or so.. It came before the ones with the 3 colors at power switch..

I am floored that Hemi can't find the deck keys needed, but am more stoked that we will finally, once and for all answer some of these nagging questions.
I don't even OWN an 931 (yet) and I want answers!
There is enough expertise on this site from all the old school 931 owners to make this happen!

Yep there are many variations due to Lasonic using different manufacturing plants. Could possibly be 1987!!!

the ONLY consistent factor of the all-too- multi 931 series are those great POUNDING woofs

Joe you have a date code on yours. I believe that box is one of the 1st made 2nd editions because of the color on power switch. But I could be wrong. Even now Lasonic is making the I931 cases differently. I have smooth glossy ones and rough flat ones. It's kind of weird how they produce them in different ways!!!

^ correct Bill, I tried to put them in order of release for the 2nd generation:
2nd edition(s):
Led's on left, dual antenna, brown power button decal (earliest)
Led's on left, dual antenna, yellow/blue power button decal (came after brown power decal boxes)
Led's on left, single antenna, yellow/blue power button decal (cutting costs started using 1 antenna instead of 2 as previously)
(these also had variations for the position of the headphone jack, not sure which for what without searching)
because some 2nd editions also came with either plastic or metal handle holders thats also in some of there variations - Status
