horn player Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I enjoy reading what others here have found at junk stores. I found this entire system at a junk store last week for a song. It sounds great! I love the blue florescent wattage meters - I had a similar one back in '79. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capo72 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Pioneer SA-7800 integrated amp with th TX-7800 tuner? I've scored some great Pioneer silver face equipment over the last few years. I really like that stuff. Your score would certainly make a nice little system for anyone! Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Love junk store bargains, the 70s stuff sells for a song, when the specs compare to stuff that would cost several times more today, I got a HK 330 for free from a friend who bought it for $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Me too, Colin! I picked up a Mac 1900 a few years back for 3 bucks! I was so happy I sent it on a $200 vacation to Terry DeWick's spa... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horn player Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 This is the same junk store where I got an excellent Klipsch KSW-12 for 40 (it sounds great with the Heresy's), fixer-upper Cornwalls for 75, B & O Beogram 1700 for 10 (needs cartridge), Dual 1249 for 10 (should be good), Harmon Kardon HK-20 bookshelf speakers for 5 (sound good!), EV guitar speaker for 5, 1966 AR2ax speakers with literature in a custom made solid cherry console cabinet with Fisher SS for 22. Hint - I've never spent more than 75 on any stereo stuff...I've bought 5 dollar bicycles, a ton of garden hand tools cheap - 1950's matchbox cars, exercise equipment, furniture, vintage cool stuff like an antique heavy solid brass vintage ashtray with a solid copper bust of King Tut attached to it (son got it), 1939 copper world's Fair plate, you name it!
