Oh boy-o-boy yippie! TRC-951

[skippy1969]

That sucks!!!!!!

 

[blu_fuz]

Yeah, it sucks - it could be worse. Imagine if it showed up with the front side caved in .

I guess if it was going to get damaged, this is the least conspicious place and it should be a pretty easy fix. Just got lucky really that the transformer's wires didn't come undone, then the insides would be bashed to ****.

It's ok - I'm over it

Still waiting for a response from USPS.

Do you guys know if USPS keeps the item if you make a claim on it?

I know that UPS will actually come and pickup a damaged item that they give an insurance claim on, I don't want USPS to take it from me.....

Status went from:
-submitted
-pending
-approved


They don't even send you an email to let you know what's up. Pretty good getting the claim passed through quickly, which is nice. So, will they just send a check/money order to me?

Anyway, this claim let me keep the 951 and it paid for a special boomer from a member here...... I wonder what it is ?

 

[blu_fuz]

Nevermind, there was a check in the mail today! hahahaha

Thanks to USPS, I have a FREE fully working and partially repaired 951. Besides the back case repairs this thing is really mint. Just looking for 1 knob and 1 slider. I straightened out the front grills a little and cleaned it up with windex and a small toothbrush. I pulled the covers off the speakers and cleaned the gunk off of them too. It turned out excellent. Still very happy to own it and hopefully I can find a rear case from a 975/951/935 to replace this one with and just transfer the 951 sticker over.



Here ya go, enjoy .

RARE lasonic

you did great --all around

 

[blu_fuz]

Thanks IRA.

I like the combination of the shiney and flat black. The brownish/gold keys and accents just set it off. Not sure why they made the tweeter grills chrome, the more I look at the pics the more those look out of place .

I do love it and suprisingly the sound between the 975 and the 951 is noticeably different. The shiney black dust caps are fun .

Bought a 975 eq slider and a 931 knob for this box. Gotta paint them flat black and convert the 931 knob to "D" shaft shape so it fits this 951 .


Does anyone know who bought Johnny's 951?

awesome box ! BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THE WOOFERS ARE SUPER :super: .

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

Man, that's a crazy rare Lasonic. I see more 922's than 951's.

Now we need pics of all of the big three!

 

[blu_fuz]

Thanks Chris - When my 935 gets here there will be a MASSIVE photo shoot


The 951 is a rare bird for sure. I have seen Johnny's picture of his but no one knows where his ended up after he sold off his collection. I did see one other one on ebay a few years ago but that is it.

I have seen a few but they are rarer than the 935
