Anybody know where i can find parts? A friend i work with paid alot of money for this thing. Its an original lasonic trc-931.

THe left speaker keeps popping/snapping like it has bad caps in the amp or something, also has crackley adjustments, etc. He also had somebody else try to fix it and for some reason the idiot took out the original power stiech and stuck in a HUGE toggle switch.. needless to say my buddy was not a happy camper.

Its pretty cool nonetheless man, i can dig it. Anybody own or tinker with these?
 
Hes probably going to have to take it apart and find the bad components and order replacements from an online part supplier like Mouser.
 
that'll be me(im the lucky repair dude #2 :D ).

Just hoping to find the noice of boomboxes for some of the odds and ends like the original power switch.

hoping to find some bad caps or solder for the sound issue, we shall see. Its weired, itll work till you crank it up, fae out, come back, then make like machine gun sounds untill you turn it back down..
 
Okay....maybe I'm the Noice of Boomboxes....I have a Lasonic TRC-931. Mine works fine, so I'm not an expert on repairing it. I can say that when I had bad batteries in it, it had similar problems to what you are describing....so maybe it is a power issue. These boomboxes are badass!!! You want to sign up for www.boomboxery.com and send a PM to a guy named TRC-911 . He has lots of Lasonic boxes...and sells parts frrom them. I did a deal with him, and got the parts I needed. I have some of the front decals if you need some.

sweet...

got it town apart, the amplifier ics are all full of cold solder, like obious i cent believe this even works type. THe heat sink for the left channel ic came loose, the ic has failed( gets super hot super fast) Its a toshiba ta7270p.. found 5x nos ones on feebay for around $10, so no biggie there.

Found an antenna on ebay, looks like radioshack carries a universal one too.

The only other big thing left is the power switch. Hes a punk rock dude to the core, skinny, long black hair, loves pbr like a mofo. so i think what im going to do bieng i cant find that power switch, is that im going to get a small pbr beercan charm( like 1/2" wide, 1" tall) drill a hole in it, glue it to the power switch. I think he will dig that. Mabye paint that nasty washer white or blue and put "pbr me asap" or something like that on there.

heres a pic of this beast.
