Lasonic Audio Perfection 1985 Music cassette player machine

Lasonic Electronics Corporation started out in 1978 designing portable audio devices, primarily what would become known as boomboxes, and had them manufactured by Yung Fu Electrical Appliances, which is based in Tainan City, Taiwan. After years of making some of the most popular boomboxes available, in 1985, Lasonic released what is arguably their crowing achievement — the flagship TRC-931. With a black case and colorful graphics accented by just the right amount of chrome, the TRC-931 could be seen everywhere from movies and music videos to skate parks and breakdancing sessions. Decades later, original TRC-931 boomboxes are considered the holy grail by many collectors and rarely change hands once they've been acquired.
