Klipsched with Yamahas Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 That has got to be the "steal of the century"...............Amazing find! When the time comes, you should be able to turn a nice ROI (return on investment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted June 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2007 I would be happy just running into some prerecorded 7" reel to reel tapes once in awhile. If anyone runs into these please let me know, or someone selling an entire record collection, at least 750 lps, even up to 5000. If anyone is looking for something in particular please let me know and I will keep my eyes open (other then the obvious things like $25 CW's, or 10 C-30's). If I do run into such a steal, I will offer it to a forum brother. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsched with Yamahas Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I would be happy just running into some prerecorded 7" reel to reel tapes once in awhile. Travis Travis, I think it would be a great idea if some of us could copy what AK has set up. I have offered to send out a 1-3 10.5" pre-recorded R2R tapes, so we could each review the quality of each of our systems, and what type of music we actually prefer and listen to on a daily basis. If anyone is interested in this "tape swapping", please let me know. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Living in a city that had an Audio King/Ultimate Electronics for many years that was a Klipsch dealer I wouldn't be surprised if some Klipsch speakers showed up at garage sales around here from time to time. Guess I'll have to start stopping at them now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triceratops Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 What a great story and an incredible score! We are living in a golden age--the downsizing and downgrading of audio has made stuff like this possible. Thanks for sharing...it gives renewed hope to the rest of us garage sale scavengers that we will win the lottery some day!

Chicago_Pete Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I stop at every garage sale I see and have yet to find anything of any value. Someday, a 57 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 WOW! Great score and great tale. I've been in those shoes before and know the rapid heartbeat and sweat stains very well. You described it perfectly. I'll bet your voice was shaking the whole time and you probably couldn't wait to get out of there should someone else stop by and see what was loaded in your truck! Is that a TD124 I see in your room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 The price tag! Out of the goodness of my heart and love for my fellow man, I will offer you the opportunity to double your money. [] Super score there Capo. Talk about the deal of a lifetime. Very nice, congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 seriously where did you berry the seller's body? There is no way you got those at that price with out a fight. "I'm calling the cops.

capo72 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 WOW! Great score and great tale. I've been in those shoes before and know the rapid heartbeat and sweat stains very well.

Is that a TD124 I see in your room? Thanx Gary, I know it's not free K-horns, but still not bad [] Yes that is my TD124. One of my many current projects is building a new heavy plinth trimmed in dovetailed mahogany to match my BBX. I also am cleaning up an SME 3009 so I can completely overhaul the TD124. No idea on a cart yet though. I followed along your TD124 experience and am glad you are happy with it. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Incredible deal. Have you checked them out? Everything OK? They look really nice and consecutive serials. Dang...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
