Lasonic CDX-931? What the...?

[TheDood723]

Has anyone seen this 😂 normally would be "too new/round" for me but... This thing is so strange I gotta get one 😂



Thoughts? 😂

Yup, that's the picture that I took of mine. They are a strange breed.

Not only a strange breed, but I would bet that it is a rare breed. There can't be too many of those left in existence.

Exactly, I was about to say, good luck on finding one. The task might be more difficult than imagined.

That one is about 1.5hr from my place but for $200 it is a pile of junk. No parts available for it and looks like trash.


Lasonic 931's have a long and interesting history:

All corners were square until the "3rd" edition came out.
1st edition:
Led's on right

2nd edition(s):
Led's on left, dual antenna, brown power button decal
Led's on left, dual antenna, yellow/blue power button decal
Led's on left, single antenna, yellow/blue power button decal
(these also had variations for the position of the headphone jack, not sure which for what without searching)

3rd edition:
Dual cassette, rounded box corners

4th edition:
CDX-931 dual cassette, CD player, rounded corners

5th edition:
i931 ipod dock

6th edition:
i931x ipod and ipod touch dock

7th edition:
i931Bx ipod and ipod touch dock, and blue tooth

I saw one of these boomboxes at a pawn shop about 15 years ago they wanted like a hundred and something bucks for that's why I left it there.

Pretty impressive to last from the 80's all the way until 2015!

[Hisrudeness]

Do the CD versions sound any good?

1st and 2nd generations sound great.

 

[floyd]

It's kind of a cool ugly I wouldn't turn it down if it was cheap enough.

 

[TheDood723]

JVC, my thought exactly 😂

 

[Reli]

Shaped like a loaf of bread, lol

 

[TheDood723]
