Nope... Got this with 3 way trade with Jr. and Adam I should have realized you would guess after you just got yours

Had to really work on this unit. Packing was spectacular by Jimmy (Brklnsound). Thanks buddy!!! Took me an hour to unpack.

Had to repair deck, had the famous broken drive tire (as seen in pics) Also had to tighten spring for drive tire and drive tire was a bit worn but soft... New tires I had were wrong size so I used ingenuity to raise it some. I literally wrapped thread around the tire rim and put drive tire back on over thread to raise a bit. Worked perfect.

I also had to replace one post using parts box and locate 3 extra screws. The back is now nice and tight and everything is fully functional

Had to clean all switches and pots not all the crackling noise is gone... Hard to believe but a box from overseas and chrome is still immaculate !! Cleaned up so shiny

This box is so gorgeous and sounds so fantastic!!! It's everything I expected. Unbelievably easy to work on. I also love how fat it is

So after 12 hours of cleaning and repairing I'm very satisfied

This one definitely is a collectors dream

Another cool feature I like is the adjustment pot for tape speed and the weighted tuner is awesome

Of course still looking for Lasonic TRC922, 935, and 951 and would like a Korean C100 and C126

Congrats Bill, seems these are very popular these days

These are still very rare. In the 4 years of collecting I may have seen them on eBay a hand full of times

Thanks guys this is a very cool unit. I recommend it

[BoomboxLover48]

Congrats Bill!



I love to have one like that.

 

[baddboybill]

Thanks Royce and Floyd. I gotta tell you guys, this was a very simple box to work on. Even the tape deck was easier than I thought . Only thing this being one of Sanyo's top models I can't believe there's no light dial and meters
