Hello Boomboxery! I'm a new member here. I live in the Washington, DC area. I bought my first boombox back in 1985. It was a Lasonic TRC-920. I was living in Philadelphia when I bought it. I had to cut school and to work a construction job with a friend to afford it. Later that year I joined the US Marine Corps. I had it with me for a while, when I was stationed at Marine Barracks 8th & I in DC. I let my brother use it for a while. He lived in New Jersey. When I went to retrieve it, the Lasonic TRC-920 wasn't the same. My brother must have taking his anger out on it, because it look as if it went through combat. Here is a photo from 1985 with the Lasonic in perfect condition. No photo of the beat down Laconic.
What brought me to Boomboxery. I was watching 'The Get Down' on Netflix and I started thinking about my boombox. I said to myself, I would like to have the same type of boombox that I had back in the day as a show piece in my Dj room. So I searched the internet and found a couple beat up lasonics 920s with missing parts. I came across a youtube video by 'Anditslikethat' with a Lasonic TRC-920 that looked BRAND SPANKING NEW. https://youtu.be/-f7exKZ33pU
I contacted 'Anditslikethat' and he sent me here. I had no idea that boombox collectors even existed. I was blown away. My eyes were open to a whole new world.
I finally found a Lasonic TRC-920 on eBay with all it's parts
On the last picture, it has a crack on the radio display window. It looks like a scratch but it's a crack. The radio works fine, the tape drags, and a couple light are not working.
