1986 Lasonic TRC-931 Boombox Restoration - Out of the DUMPSTER, the ghetto blaster lives again.

Free Repair Shop Episode 1 - The Techno Scavenger takes on his first free repair: A 1986 Lasonic TRC-931 Boombox that was found in a dumpster. This ghetto blaster must be in bad shape to wind up in a dumpster. See what it takes to bring it back to life.

If you didn't get it from the video, this repair was done for free through my free repair shop service. The idea is that you get your historical item repaired and I get a video out of it. You should check out my free repair shop video for more information.

This restoration and repair of this vintage boombox involved a number of difficult steps.
The speakers were in really bad shape.
The cassette decks were rusted.
The ghettoblaster was unimaginably dirty.

The Retro Sony Boombox giveaway winner will be announced in a separate video. Be sure to subscribe with notifications on.

The ghetto blaster carried by Radio Raheem in the Spike Lee film Do the Right Thing is NOT a Lasonic TRC-931. It is a Promax Super Jumbo boombox.
