not sure about 3 to 2 parts swap i know that some 1 will fit 2 especially the dreaded switches that break alot on these boxes ,, i would have like to have a generation 3 to compare....but i belive there might have been some changes thats could affect parts swaping :-)

This is one boombox that has eluded me!
I do want a Gen 1 or 2 931.
I've come close like 2 times but just haven't been willing to go high enough.
They look "Cool"!!
If Ramon says they have good bass then I must get 1 then someday!
Thanks-GB. :-) :yes: :cool: :surf: :breakdance: :agree: :hmmm: :-D :yes:

gb if you ever get one trust me you will never regret it just make sure you get a fully working one especially with a good working function switch,, for some apparent reason they did not do a very good job when designing them,, other then that some really good deep bass just adjust that eq to the liking and pop that loudness button and you are good to go :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :drool: :drool: :drool:

I have read that one of the problems with the function switch is that it is built into the amp board?!?!?! I can see how that would be a problem....

But I think you could find a 3 position switch and wire it up by soldering a wire to the switch and running it to the board.I wonder if anyone has tried this?

Below are a few pictures of different models of 931's.

I don't know what this radio is. If it's a prototype or production run....I've never seen one for sale....and that one with the TV, I think that was a mod or prototype as well.

The 931 has a long history that's for sure.....I NEED one....Right after my 935 shows up and I get my 975..... :-D :-D Then I will have THEM ALL :frankenstein:

Forgive me if this has previously been noted/posted, but are there even 2 sub versions of the '2nd release'? I believe I have a 2nd release, but I notice that I have no headphone jack under Deck B like I see in others, but instead just a blank space and the graphic like the others. Odd thing is that if I run my finger over the blank space, it almost feels like there's the hole for the jack in the chassis, but it's just covered by the plate with the decal. My jack is on the side of the box (sorry about the dark iphone pics). I believe everything on mine is original. Not sure where I might look to see a year or anything on it. I do have a serial number sticker on it if that can tell me anything. Hmmmm

I also have this model which I purchased new around 1988 (see avatar) :-D There were a few variations of this particular model including different color decals :thumbsup:

Does anyone know if there are any generation 3 parts that work with the generation 2's?
My Gen 3 has D-stem volume and balance knobs. AFAIK, previous gens all had spline knobs; I know this because I need each of those knobs and can't use the Gen 2 knobs I ePay'd for last week. :sad:

I'm still looking, but worse case scenario, I'll model something functional up and print it on my 3D printer. It won't be OEM, but it will fill the void until the happy day arrives! :-)

Go!

Was it your paper route pennies or did Santa dropped it down the chimney in 1988 ;-)

Go!

VS, is that one a recent pick up? is it all working?

Found this poor one many years ago on the dump.
It was the inspiration to start collecting. :-)

But it is a "wreck" now. :-/
Not working, a few parts i sent to members who need them, the rest is decoration in the garage.
But any time i plan to do a custom job with it... :afro:

hope to find a good 931 one time... :cool:
