The $250 Lasonic 975

[static2000g]

[SIZE=16pt]For about 15 minutes there was a 975 with most of the functions working on Ebay for $250.00. The seller said there was only sound on the left side. I sent him a message asking him did he open the back cover to check the problem? He responded that he didn’t initially but per my suggestions - he opened the cover, found a loose speaker wire, reconnected and it was perfect. He has since took down the auction and told me he will put it back up at a higher price –lol[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16pt]I supposed I could have kept my mouth shut but its cool. I’m holding out for a 920 anyways.[/SIZE]

A good rule to follow is NEVER have the seller open the unit, most the time they don't know what they are doing and can mess up a bunch of stuff!

I figured he was a collector by all the other parts he hand on sale he might be a member here (Sony34).

I think you did a good thing for the guy.
I sometimes offer advice based on known issues with some of the things I'm more experienced with and it does make you feel good when your words help them along a little.
Had a few people do similar for me when I've traded in commodities that were outwith my comfort zones, such as Waltham watch movements, diecast model cars, architectural salvage and a ton of gravel that I got landed with after taking it in part exchange for a small, domestic LPG boiler and not realising how much space gravel needs!

Like Space Lobster says, karma, etc..

BUT, you did the right thing...NOW NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!

Sorry you didn't get your hands on that Big Boy Lasonic...but the 920...well...you know

I saw it but like it was already said, from all his parts listings, I expected him to be a collector and if he couldn't fix it there was probably a reason (that was beyond my skill).
