Review: Sears SR2100

[Lasonic TRC-920]

This Sears and Roebuck radio was found at a local thrift store. I think I paid $15 for it last year.

It's a simple 6 D cell radio, limited features, but super clean. It doesn't have a line in, but I use it with my small FM transmitter. It has a great tuner and a really long single antenna and picks up stations nice and strong. It has a single line LED VU Meter and a nice stereo wide setting. The cassette deck works great and sounds full. It does have piezo tweeters, but they don't sound bad. I have a small set of real tweeters that I might swap out. It carries it's own connected power cord in a compartment in the back.

For the most part, I haven't really cleaned this radio. This is how I got it. I do need to open it up and blow the light dust out of the tuner area, but that's about it.

I tend to grab this little guy when I am BBQ'n here at the house where massive volume isn't needed. But it still gets loud enough to Rock Out

For being just pizeos, those are sweet tweeter grills!

I used to have a similar unit from the SR2100 series. I hated the fact that the woofers were approximately 3 to 4 inches and the grilles and surrounds were used to make it seem that the woofers were like 6 inches. So I got rid of it.

I think your model would actually be known as SR2194. The "2100" is just a series designation.

Yeah, that makes me nuts when the speaker grills give the illusion of bigger speakers.

Yes, you are in fact right on the model number...FROM the 2100 series!

I can't part with this radio....it's just to clean!

The sears looks better with that rounded tweeter grills
these boxes has some uniqueness, they have main screws on the front side.

That one looks sweet with those tweeter covers...Simple radio, but sounds good.

That is a nice simple box. Looks like perfect company for quiet listening.

I Have the Toshiba version of this but has a fancy auto-reverse deck in it.
Nice clean Sears Chris!
Front screws also.
