Hello Wes, great to know you!
I see the Lasonic brand as something intrinsically linked to the boombox and am a huge devotee of your 80s products.
The big Lasonic's are some of my most prized boomboxes and stacked up against all the competition they easily have the
best performance to sound to cost ratios when being carried out on the street.
My second gen 931 has been my current radio of choice to carry to and from work, before this it was my TRC-975. i've got about 200 boomboxes, including most of the 'grails' and the Lasonic boomboxes are always my go-to radios for outdoor rockin.
One thing I'd love to request is some kind of mode selector part that you could sell for the 931 models. Nearly all of them have this issue with the mode selector perishing over time, it would be awesome to be able to get some kind of replacement as it would bring hundred upon hundreds of 931's back to full blasting action.
Hope you have lots of fun here, Wes and best of luck for 2014!
Rock On.

Your son is growing fast Bill. Still one of the best Lasonic collections on the web!
I think you and Miles are the only people I know with the ultra rare Gold i931
Thanks Chris
oh actually my gold Lasonic is one I painted 
. Couldn't afford the ones from overseas and the only one I saw selling on eBay for $400 had been abused.

For our UK bretheren. Have you guys contacted our European distributor over in France? www.veentage.com. As of right now we are hoping to expand to other countries but its a matter of finding the right distribution channels for us. 2013 has definitely been a transitionary period for us here at Lasonic so were hoping to restart and revamp to bring us closer to our former glory.
Oh wow! These names appeared in that link, listed under "Europe" though, so no wonder we didn't know they were there.

Anyone down in England fancy checking these out? That London is only about 380 miles from here so there and back within a day is achievable. Hmm....
Thanks for the links, Wes.

Aww shite! Wes, whats your position at Lasonic? I think you really have a good opportunity to grow the brand with the right insight from the right people on this site. Lasonic should be the new Beats by Dre....with the right marketing and product development..Lasonic could run this shite.
Wes
Hey -GZ- my official title is graphic design/ marketing but I'm all over the place around the office heh.
Welcome aboard Wes. It is way to cool to have you as a member of boomboxery. I also have many Lasonic boomers. If I could only have one new product from Lasonic it would be a replacement Band Selector & Function Selector Switch for the TRC 931. I have three full functioning TRC 931s ( I have replaced this switches from a donor/parts TRC 931), but the plastic gear inside these switches get brittle and crack rendering the switch inoperable. It is only a matter of time when this will happen to my Lasonic TRC 931s. 
I have never seen the cardboard box for the 931 before. Melly has a wycked brand new 931 like yours....there are a few left in this world. Sadly, I don't have one :'-(bklyn sound said:thanks chris that is one of my boxed babys
Welcome aboard! Know any designers or product development people there? Tell them to join and ask for our opinions about what makes a boombox great! What better way to ensure your future products will succeed?
Oh, and bring back the 920!
