    Looking for assistance on a Sanko Motor on my TRC-975.

    Ok, so everything was working fine, and still can be all right...except, whenever I press play on the cassette player, something was just making "a screeching wrrring" noise. I opened it up, and it's so weird, if I touch the motor myself, it'll stop making noise and act like normal. But, if I...

    My Lasonic 931

    Well, it only took 33 years to get a Lasonic 931 for a decent price in my hands. Ever since I saw them brand new in Woolworth, 1987 at 17 years old, having just purchased ZZTop - Afterburner on cassette, I lusted after the wall of chrome switches and knobs on a display model. But the price was...

The...

    Lasonic Number 17!

    And so the path continues! Had to test the waters on shipping from the US. This package took about 10 days and cost $41. Because our shipping address is an FPO, it's the same as shipping to Washington DC (ish). This radio was packed solid, double boxed, plenty of padding. No issues at all...
