That box is in very good condition! Great find! :yes: :yes:

The red wire couldn't be the problem with the power up issue. Try to use batteries and see if it will power up. :yes: No worries on trying that.

I don't have this boombox. Hopefully our members here can help!

Tackle it :) even if you don't succeed in firing it up, which is doubtful, it will still look amazing on the shelf - and maybe one day someone will find a smashed up incomplete one which works and you could use that!! It's beautiful!

I see plenty of pins so You are the Master always in the Game my friend.

Is the AC/DC switch reusable? That red wire is power to somewhere for sure- if you are savvy, you can power the unit with a 12v supply right on the circuit board where the transformer plugs into- by doing this you are bypassing the transformer, batteries, and the ac dc switch- running direct to the board. All Lasonics are known for cold solder joint, brittle wires and lack of plugs- they soldered everything directly to the circuit boards- one twist this way and that and they snap -

Try it post back here.. nice find :-)

Did you try power direct to the board? Good idea is to stretch the mystery wire to its limit and travel in a circle..where the end meets you can see where it was..Unless someone here has a schematic..those boxes sound great worth the effort :-)
