and --YOU got it --so its YOURS !!
know what i mean
Ira I knew I would probably never find a radio in this condition again so this one will be my only shelf queen...and man do those woofers dance when you play bass heavy songs. Now I see why there are so many Lasonic fans....

i say--
whip out all your spray cans --color up that sucker
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or even smarter --
since you discovered that you like the looks and sound of the 931--
then you need to buy a beater to preserve your shelf queen -
and then --since you wont be too picky about the beater -
i bet you can find one cheap and soon !!!

Melly's first Crack box.
Looks great and I hear you, it's hard to let them go. I still regret letting mine go but have hope to one day find a perfect crack smoking box like yours.
I love these stories, reminds me of the few times I've gone after items only to find I'm entering the darkest parts of town and wondering if I'm being set up for a mugging, car jacking or ?.

...it's funny you say that because that is the first thing I thought when I drove down his street...I had a surprise for anyone who would have tried. I would have NEVER imagined finding a radio in that condition in a place like that....just dumb luck I guess.

in some ways the trc-931 is the boombox for the masses. why would i say that ,well for the price these sold for new it was a far far cry from the stratosphere kissing prices a lot of the earlier boxes went for.
i am just guess but i kind of think this unit must have been way way way up there in terms of numbers sold.
they are really nice looking blasters.
you know even tho this unit looks miles better and sounds much better than the latest incarnation of the lasonic boombox you have to applaud this company for offering affordable loud portable stereos for the regular joes for several decades now.
i mean in many ways lasonic has been much more loyal to the boomboxers than any other company.
melly you should send some pics to the lasonic facebook page. i am sure they would be interested to see some shots of one of there old products in basically brand new condition.

Hey I have a lasonic TRC931 that I got new in '88' and a TRC975 I got new in '93' and love them bothbill said:
I would not give them up for nothing 
Like Bill said they are the only company around trying to keep bbx's alive And even though JVC, Sharp and Panny all made fantastic boxes, there not anymore. Even the kaboom is not an original bbx from the 70/80s. So I say for every person who slashes Lasonic they should do a little studying into the life span of the boxes and how they brought it to our present day with the I931

Glad you decided to keep it, Melly! Congratulations! 
The J-1 Super Jumbo comes close... somewhat... The bass doesn't hit as hard tho, unfortunately. 
Yeah, I remember seeing 'em being sold at Woolworth's at the end of the 80's for around $150, stacked up on the floor and fresh in the box.

Melly , Im Glad you decided to keep it!!!!
Truthfully I was feeling kind of ill at the fact you scored such a mint box on craigslist of all places
and was going to sell it.
If that were mine you would have to pry it from my dead lifeless hands to get it from me . :grim:

...after spending a couple days with this radio, i am now appreciating how special a find this is. This radio will be kept indoors and will never see the sun to preserve it's "new-like" condition. I promised myself I would never have a shelf queen but this one is definitely special. After closely inspecting both decks I am convinced they were "virgin" and never used. The battery compartment never had a battery in it. The date code inside the battery compartment is hand stamped 12/88 and the stamp ink looks brand new. Trust me I am shocked that I was able to find a box in this condition. As a collector this one is definitely a once in a lifetime find.
