LANICO L-939
I scored this New Old Stock (NOS) Lanico L-939 on the weekend from Kijiji (local online classifieds popular in Canada).
The most obscure & least documented box in my collection.
Made in amazing Taiwan, likely in the late 80's to early 90's.
It was discovered in the back of the garage of a former electronics vendor at the Hwy 400 Flea Market in Barrie, Ontario, Canada in the 1990's.
Amazingly, the belts have not disintegrated & both decks play like champs after just seeing their first light of day this century.
I was the first to respond to the ad, but by the time I (quickly) showed up to claim it, the sellers had received 7 other offers.
Some were higher than the price we had agreed to, so I gladly paid more, which is unusual for me.
But it's the first true NOS piece I've ever had the chance to own.
Thank You Larry, Mike & Kijiji.
Was this LANICO boombox made by Lasonic?
