TRC-922 Question

[jwalk1]

I picked up a Lasonic 922 and just got in in today. It wont power up so will it will need some work and resto. My question is were there different makes of this model? Most of the ones I have seen pics of look like this one.

But mine has different speaker grills in the front, heres mine.

Thanks

Yep, those are the 2 different styles of the 922 that we know of .



Let me know if you need parts!:

Thanks, I was starting to wonder if this box was a frankenstein and put together from a couple boxes!

[rustoleumbloodstream]

i really like the square speakers on this, i need to find one of these

I just happened to check the goodwill auction site and this auction was on the last day with only 2hrs to go. Had about 5 bids on it. I bid the last couple minutes and noone else was bidding.

Jwalk, I believe your version is the rarer of the two. Nice score!!

Is it missing all knobs on top

 

[blu_fuz]

Looks like it is missing the knobs and the cassette door glass . I have ALL the knobs if you need them

That's an excellent way of describing Lasonic's R&D department!



Rock On.

i think --
with all the variations within ALL their models -

LASONICS ARE RANDOMS

So, your saying EVERY Lasonic is a one off and SUPER RARE! Glad I got so many of them

 

[redbenjoe]

yup chris -
no 2 are alike

your collection is special

Thanks for the offer blu_fuz, but I have the knobs and the front glass. Had the back off to look inside and just have not put them back yet. Smells like somethings burnt inside I got a guy that works on all this old stuff so I guess tommorrow its going to the shop. I know nothing about working on these other than cleaning.

 

[blu_fuz]

Ewwww, burned smell - like electronic/electrical burning smell?

That's not good.

If you figure out what you need, you know where to find me

Yep some kind of component / s are fried your going to need a scheme and meter to get that puppy going

 

[jwalk1]

Took it to my guy that works on these and he said it looked like it might be a small recifier on the little board next to the transformer. He said no biggie! We'll see if thats all it is or not. blu_fuz you got a back case for this model? Its got a nasty crack at the bottom, the side has some heat damage where it reshaped the plastic, and one of the plastic catches that hold one of the aerials is also broke off on the back case.

 

[blu_fuz]

I actually gave away the rear case from mine, sold the handle, traded the big speakers, sold the cassette door, and I took the antennas for my 975 . I have everything else
