So I finally purchased a 931 1st edition for $80 :-O when I received the bbx the box it came in had a huge hole in it. I was totally freaking :annoyed: I did not hear rattling so I was a little less worried. When I got it open I noticed the band knob was off and then I noticed the opening where the band switch post was suppose to be was not there. I looked in the hole and could not see nothing. So I took back off bbx and noticed the tuner board was missing 2 screws and was pushed outward causing the switch post to be out of hole and leaning on board, man was I relieved. So I put it back in place and added extra screws and switch worked perfectly :thumbsup: Next I had to completely clean box inside and out. The chrome had so much embedded dirt that my fiancé had an idea to use an eraser from pencil to shine up chrome, and it worked brilliantly :-D I also had ordered a new antenna from lasonic and got a tuner knob from member trc911 :thumbsup: Tape deck A needed a new belt in order to work 100% and I still waiting for a replacement deck for B because the head assembly does not move into position for play or FF :sadno: Here are some pics. I will post more on the status of deckB later :thumbsup: :-D

1st 5 pics are how I was suppose to get it and rest are how it came with band knob off and finished pics :drool:

Nice clean up! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
You already have a 1st edition, don't you? So is this your 2nd 1st edition?

I'm in the cleaning/resto process with my 3rd edition 931. Hope it comes out as nice...

Go!

Thanks Frank, I love the Lasonics because the 975 and the 931 2nd edition are my original from new ;-) It took a couple days for cleanup :-O The hardest part was the chrome, I cant believe my fiance had used an erasure to get it clean and shiny :w00t:

Nice collection of Lasonics!

While it doesn't have the blingy light show, the 1st edition is the best looking 931 in my opinion!

The more i see of the 931x though, the more I'm wanting one. :-)
