@@davidbrigham8319 thought those were sold out.. got a link? Ahh actually they still are available.. pretty pricey too.. they are o.k. but like Lasonic boomboxes.. they are a bit under built lol.. like 85% quality.. still a nice edition to protect the radio..

Going to order one on Amazon 75.98.👍

@@davidbrigham8319 need more context.. is it the model that has a lithium ion rechargeable battery in it? If so it comes with a charger.. it's shown in the video..

Has the rechargeable battery and a USB charger cord and remote control.

I contacted lasonic and they sent me a 5 volt USB charger adapter for it. They said they don't send the adapter with them out anymore.

mines packed up atm.. i'll check it in a bit to see if it does the same.. not a bad boombox.. but if they just put a little more effort in build quality it would be a 1st place winner.. but it's basically a cash grab on the name..

Thanks for the response I schedule a exchange from Amazon for another one thanks I will let you know how it goes 😊👍.

Also I was wondering it doesn't hold a charge battery is dead the next day even after a charge the night before.🤔 I wish it came with a damn owner's manual.

@@davidbrigham8319 there is a switch in the back of the boombox.. it's not labeled.. that is a AC/DC switch.. if after you turn off the boombox and the LCD display is still on.. then you need to switch it off in the back.. this is like all Lasonic 931's no matter what generation.. thats the reason why your battery is dead the next day.. pretty silly design by Lasonic.. hope this helps!

well putting it up at the end of the week on eBay.. since the buyer of the GE Blockbuster was very happy with the GE.. i'll put a link for it when it goes live.. good luck!

got some never forget memories too when i got my first boombox.. there's somethin special about these portable stereo's back in the day.. they were just so cool..

@@kyfeam Definitely!

nothin wrong with that.. i view it more as a convenience.. i did experiment in my older videos trying to modernize classic boomboxes.. but now i just add Bluetooth and a Lithium ion battery pack.. but not to mint condition or special boomboxes that have gathered a following.. like the GE Blockbuster or Realistic SCR-8.. i also have a Sharp VZ-2000 that will be reassembled soon.. with no mods.. and a real cool 1979 Sharp GF-8585 with the original box and original Sharp batteries! but lesser known older boomboxes i will mod..

@@Superdude881 fair enough.. still learning my dude.. in future videos comparing sound between 2 boomboxes.. I will shut up..

@@tbone8723 eBay name is the same as my RUclips name..

retiring out west on a plot of land.. will be putting a shed on it just for repairing old school boomboxes/stereo receivers.. so yea at some point next summer i will be in the boombox repair service.. love bringing these classics back to life..

@@kyfeam when you start you announce it so we know about you. Good luck on your retirement, I should join you in a decade. Again my respect for your electronic skills.

@@Erik0207 lol had the parts for a year.. finally had an opportunity to dedicate time to it.. it's to beautiful a classic to let sit unrepaired.. glad you got to see it come back to life!

no.. bit to pricey for me.. plus seen the video Techmoan did on the Brooklyn.. and it looked pretty cheaply made.. the Manhattan on the other hand is actually quite well built.. it certainly better built then most retro inspired boomboxes these days.. highly recommend grabbin one if you can..

@@kyfeam I guess they used the money they saved by not giving it a tuner, tape deck or CD player, and put it into the sound quality

@@80s_Boombox_Collector sounds about right.. would rather have that than items i no longer use like CD player or USB/MicroSD MP3 player.. i use Bluetooth and RUclips music on my phone.. so much more convenient.. i know us old schoolers love cassettes.. and i do.. but you really cant beat Bluetooth streaming.. technology is a wonderful thing sometimes..

yea they get sticky.. i just use rubbing alcohol to get all the stickiness off then repaint them.. looks great after.. i made a red white and blue Kaboom.. looks sweet.. might make a vid on it at some point.. glad your still enjoying your beast!

Your welcome!

gave the unit away to a down on their luck co-worker.. so sadly cannot check that for you..

@@kyfeam Appreciate the reply,thanks.I went online and searched for the manual and won loaded it and its all there's when its charging the light which is blue blinks and when its fully charged it will remain constant thanks.I shoot music vids and just need it for shoots either of sound or for aesthetics, its a Wonderfull looking item

the M90 mini was built very well.. very solid.. obviously its way smaller than the i931.. so if you want noise.. the i931 is your fix.. if you want a small but fairly beefy Bluetooth speaker.. the M90 is pretty cool..

if like other radios.. you might need to long press the preset number once set on the station you wish to save.. also older radios like the Sony may require batteries to be installed to save the stations in memory.. even if the radio is plugged into the wall.. if neither of these methods work.. there may be original instruction manuals saved online in the form of a PDF.. the CFD-770 manual should work the same as the CFD-775.. i actually found it quite easily using Google search.. here is the link.. www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/sony/cfd-770.shtml hope this helps!

The Panasonic is more subdued.. it's not a bass maker.. more rounded.. certainly not lacking in bass.. just not a bass beast like the Sharp and JVC.. they are both bred for bass.. hope that helps!

make sure if you grab one that it has had the gear for the tape deck replaced.. 99% of the gears in these fail due to going brittle and falling apart..

Your welcome!

yea as stated in the video.. these are more for show than actual quality.. mine does sound quite good and loud.. didnt have any issues except slight noise in the background when the sound was turned down.. certainly no 80's Japan quality here.. but it does fully work.. and i do like the rechargeable aspect of it.. definitely not worth what there asking for them though.. more like a $129 boombox.. not a $229 boombox.. glad you enjoyed the video.. and good luck modding yours!

Thank you sir. I’ll keep you posted as to how it goes. Sounds 65 percent better than it was. I might paint mine also. Not to keen on the white but I did pic thst color because it’s easier to paint.

@@juansoto2818 when it warms up here i might do the same to mine.. not sure what color i'll pick yet.. what color you planning? i might go silver.. maybe..

Same here. I’m in the northeast corridor. Too cold to paint. I have this really nice color called patriot blue. Looks really nice. I may go that way. Possibly a granite gray also.

Stereo for both..

for what.. the Panasonic?

@@kyfeam yes, what’s the model number of the remote control?

RAK-RX309WM@@thelowprofile9767

probably should have gone silver.. just experimenting.. what do you think?

cant argue with that..

for build quality.. the GPO.. for loudness.. the Lasonic.. though the GPO does have impressive sound.. the Lasonic has 8 inch woofers.. and beefy ones at that.. hope this helps!

glad i could help!

Life happened unfortunately.. hopefully have time over the winter to make a video..
