So I finally got around to cleaning up my RISING 20 20 which I bought from Epay back in January. It wasn't in bad shape, the only issues were a small cracked corner on the front left foot that cracked off during shipping :thumbsdown: and a bent PAUSE button on the tape deck. I was able to find the piece that had broken off, and fixed it, and straightened out the PAUSE button as well. Other than that, it was all about the clean up.


For some reason I haven't been able to upload photos to my posts, it keeps telling me the "File is too big" I've tried everything and just gave up :bang: So heres a short YouTube video of the end results, and a few photos of some of the clean up will follow soon, with the help of good ol Chris, aka Lasonic TRC-920 :chris920:


So here she is in her new found glory, starting with FM, then the iPod playing some "West Coast Poplock" by Ronnie Hudson :surf: and ending it off with some EPMD "You Gots to Chill" in the tape deck. When I turned off the iPod to play the cassette, you can hear my son in the background saying "Isn't working Dad" :lol: Enjoy.... :thumbsup:

Wow. Great job. You know... this is one of those boxes that, when I first joined the site, I thought, "eh." But of course, as I see it more and more, I notice more details that I really like.

Great looking box. I didn't realize the volume was in the center. Pretty cool looking.

Beautiful, love all the chrome at that looks so good.

Out of interest, is the Rising a Crown CSC850 clone or vice versa? I just picked up an 850 and there are so many similarities inside and out.

Either way, fantastic work

Now, that's a provocative bit of camera work on that beauty! :thumbsup: Everything about that BB looks so pristine, it's got appeal to die for - I'm impressed with all you've achieved so it's a "Well done" from me!

Was the 931 speaker just a mockup?
Yea I have a fresh pair of Lasonics woofers on standby. So I was contemplating on swapping the originals out with the Lasonic woofers. In the end I decided to keep it OG. I think Im gonna save the Lasonic woofers for my 931 :-)
