Since you 2 are here, I'll post the update anyway.....
I've read in the past that 'discolite won't power on unless cassette is playing'.......
I gave the power switch 20-30 quick flips and actually saw some of the LEDs flicker on, but off right away

perfect careful packing --
get it going yet ??
when you do - you and your family will be sooooooooooooooooooo happy
the power switch --when its working right - has zero to do with the deck buttons or deck functions-
just jump the switch right now --so you can see all the lights etc
then fis ( thats ' southern ' for fix ) the switch later

Both decks work!
Radio works!
Line-in works!
Every switch works (but the power switch).
The music is playing and the lights are dancing!!!
As long as I have play or play/pause pushed it works perfectly. Soooooo cool I can't believe it!!
She is a little dirty pig right now, but I couldn't ask for a better start to a resto project.

SUPER ULTRA MEGA SCORE
Welcome to the Discolite Family! You know that power switch is just some deoxit!
​Looks great man! (other than smelling like Madonna's butt
)
I did get to turn it up some here at work. It is a little hollow and flat sounding, but no worse than say a Sharp GF-8686. It seems to brighten up the sound spectrum when you turn it up. The 'feel' of the box is exactly like everyone says, cheap, cheap, cheap. If it didn't have the discolite feature it might not have been on my long list.Lasonic TRC-920 said:
There is a wow factor that hits all of our amature interests which makes this box so cool.
Would I buy one for what I paid, yes. Anymore than that, no. I'm glad I stuck to my limits because anymore cost and I would rather have a RGB disco'd 777 with Alpine speakers in it to be the flashy 4 speaker beast.
No regrets. They sound average, but I have heard worse/better. Happy to own it!
I'll take that as a compliment for sure.....nice score BTW!! Congrats!!!blu_fuz said:......Would I buy one for what I paid, yes. Anymore than that, no.

I think when you get it hope and have a chance to really light it up, you will be surprised by the sound.
Aww, I remember getting my first discolite. Couldn't stop staring at the lights for several hours. 
Enjoy it! I am sure you are going to do a fabulous restoration job!

OK, so it smells like Madonna's lady garden but it needs a cleanup. Hmm, how to wash the thing yet not lose that smell?
I will be honest in saying that I could not afford a real DISCO-LITE @ 1500+ US bucks so I decided to make my own & the 777 was naturally my first MOD for that reason.....It would be insane if you could use that 1 way mirror film for headlights & chrome the dustcaps so that they look like normal chrome dustcaps until the lights shine through the caps....BAM!!! That would look smokin' HOT!!!
