Came across this in the photos of an upcoming estate sale. What's the collective take on this box? Trying to decide if I want to check it out or not. My other Lasonic box (TRC 931) is pretty hard to work on, but this one looks like a different style so maybe the guts are better? The 918 seems a bit smaller though I don't see any dimensions online, based on the ratio of the tape door to the rest of the box it seems at least a little smaller than my Realistic SRC8. While dirty it doesn't look terribly beat up. All the knobs/buttons seem to be there. It looks like at least one of the antennas are broken.

Thoughts?

Thanks all!

The Lasonic TRC 918 is modeled after the Sanyo M 9994. I have the Larsen version, with needle VUs instead of the leds (as in the Lasonic TRC 915, which is basically a Sanyo M 9990). It's a lovely boombox
