New find in the wild! Lasonic 975.

[Master Z]

Just picked up this jumbo off craigslist last night. It's in decent shape but having problems with the volume pot. I cleaned the hell out of it but it it comes in and out. I can get it to stay if its pushed to the side so it might be a contact problem. I need to look at it more. There's also a hum going on while the power is on, whether its on radio, tape or aux so I guess ill check for bad grounds as well. Both decks work as well as the aux, so that's a start. There's few things missing, the beat cut button the volume knob and an EQ slider cap. Can anyone help out with these parts???
As always any tips for the problems would be appreciated.

Check it out!

It's actually been a while since I got any hits. Since May I think. I'm kind of running out of room too! I need to make more display space. Stat.

That's a nice find, Z - especially off craigslist.

Z - I told that guy to ship it to me in wisconsin and he wouldn't do it! :annoyed:

Glad a member has it though - it was a fantastic price. I just couldn't justify the 8+hr drive one way for it .

 

[Master Z]

I paid way less than half of what he was asking. If you mind, dont post the price cause I don't want members to hate me. Lol!!!

AWWW...you can tell us, I wont hate you because I bought mine brand new in 1993 for like $180

Beautiful find, Z! One of my all time favourites.
Best of luck getting the bits you need and sorting out the other little issues.



Rock On.

Haha, ended up being mine in the end anyway Z . Funny how things end up that way.

Nice find!!!!
The hum may be coming from the caps on the power supply.
Or a ground problem.
