TRC-920 sold on Ebay

[Ken]

Whats going on? Did two guys really want this one or what? [ebay]310303235980[/ebay]

Is it just tax return time ?

That is one fine looking box... Looks brand new

 

[Superduper]

I dunno. Maybe there's something in the water.........

 

[MONOLITHIC]

Looks like a good deal to me 'cause I paid a lot more for mine (and it was worth every single penny).

Other than the obvious discoloration at the jack area, the box looks great... Everything works, both antenna clips are intact... No door sticker, but hey...
If I didn't already own one, I'd have hopped on it.

That's what I was wondering, Mono. I think the only way to get a feel about prices is to ask questions. That's what I'm doing.

I mean, it's starting to look as if EVERY classic one piece box in great shape is a grail to somebody. Of course, when you have two people willing to bid, the price might be more than it's really worth. I mean, these two guys went toe to toe on this 920. But from what you say...

I'm still learning, I guess...

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

One thing that is rare about this particular 920 is that it has both antenna clips. Those are always broke off.

Nice radio though. I don't think that is an outrageous price since it's totally working. I have seen them go for $500.

That box is a stunner. Wonderful condition and the all important classic looks. Superb!

Not even close to a dunce! You're absolutely right all one piece boxes are grails to someone. Also it seems the supplies are a little low right now. Everyones got a worm in the water for the same fish!

Well, I guess there are folks on both sides of the spectrum here....
Cuz to me, I would not have bid 1/2 of that for the guy. The only way I'm spending that kind of money on a 920 is if it had a big fat Sanyo badge on it.
OTOH, there are lasonic lovers who would probably say sanyo what?

 

[redbenjoe]

in the 'back-in-the-day' days....... this model may have been considered
the poor mans m70
very similar size/shape features etc etc

but now --its just as popular and respected -
and they do command about the same price

these are made in taiwan-
there is no comparo about build
quality -

but --for us kids that need to bring on some great bass
at low volume --
the 920 is the better choice

Until that dreaded function switch breaks, right?

 

[redbenjoe]

yes --its actually SCARY to use that switch

 

[blu_fuz]

If I wasn't so attached to my $65 MINTY TRC-920, it would have went up for sale already. G-DAMN that is a lot of coin!

Thats some what rare out of the 3 920's I had the Cleanest one I kept still has both This one was clean but as for the price its a little high........ The description seemed a little vague

 

[MONOLITHIC]

I can't relate.

I think you guys are thinking about the 931. I have never had any trouble with any of my 920's

I've NEVER had a problem with the function switches of ANY of the [strike]931's[/strike] Lasonics I've owned throughout the years, so again, I can't relate.

Maybe it's operator trouble?

No Chris, it does happen on the 920 also. The 1st one I purchased had a broken band select switch. It broke the same way the 931 switches break

 

[shane higgins]
