SSnyder Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 First post in this great thread... Found this gem at the North Canton, OH Goodwill today. Not the cheapest thrift store find, but pretty darn valuable... That is great save a couple where can figured you would do that.

BLSamuel Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Local Goodwill tonight. Have the Margaret Becker but will give to Chuck our pastor or St Ruth. I really liked DeGarmo And Key many years ago but mostly their earlier work. 5th dimension should be pretty good? Cool Leroy Niemann cover art easily worth a $1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 And 10 for $1 albums at the Rescue Mission deserved a return to go through them all. Was hoping for some a really cool LP or 2. A couple should hopefully fit that bill... and some cool cover art on some of them. And for 10 cents I could always make any losers into popcorn bowls. The vinyl's too nice on these. They're all pretty good to really clean. I put back gnarly looking LPs unless they look like they will clean up really clean. And don't even think if they have nasty scratches and the like that look like they may rip of the stylus. Both times started reading "My Name Is Jul..." Jules somebody. Kid in old school suit at keyboard. Just didn't look appealing. What can I say. I like Gloria Estefan. Two different versions of Mikado. Might be kind fun to rotate 'em in and as wall art. Songs Of Love I might have bought just for the cover. Especially if the cover art had been larger. It has a Peter Maxx look to it but no credits that I could see looking at it quickly. It appears to be a promotion for Rogers Silver. At least a couple of the songs should be worthwhile. Aretha Frankling. Charlie Byrd and Orchestra. Should be some good music in this batch. Some fun covers at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Took a closer look at the JBLs. L26 I think was the model. I didn't look at them too closely but I'm sure a bit dinged up but could be worthwhile according to posts on AudioKarma. I think they're asking $90. Don't have $90 right now (2 new tires, tie rod ends, realignment, and battery for the Grand Caravan... so if I could've found $90 I can't now). Here's what a really nice pair looks like... If there are any JBL fans close enough to Kokomo that would be interested let me know and I'll see if they'll let me take some pictures to post.

BLSamuel Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Nice score! Thanks Runnin! Not as great as scores as some but looks like some worthwhile music and fun covers. The operatic stuff I'm not so sure but maybe it'll grow on me. The Cover of the Gloria Estefan CD folds out to a decent size, though it's a bit too wide for our scanner. (edit) it doesn't display correctly in my browser but I like the quote on the importance of music in her life. or the front back and fold out if that doesn't "fit" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Finally stopped at the local St Vincent De Paul thrift store. Picked up a little GT cooker for our oldest daughter for $1 and a couple of LPS The Motels should be fun. Said oldest daughter's getting married next June and we're supplying the tunes to keep the entertainment costs down so seems like we'll need at least one polka? That said, I'd think I should be able to find a polka CD.... no intention of taking LPs as planning to copy anything from LP to CD or mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Stopped at a new location of a local pawn shop. Buy 3 get 1 free. A couple for the Mother In Law. A couple for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 On the way to the pawn shop was another pawn shop that calls itself a trade post ... (if anyone's interested they have a pair of JBL G-734 15" 2 way PA speakers let me know. Will probably put a notice in Garage Sale maybe Pro Audio. $190 for the pair. Looked to be in good to very good shape) No buy 3 get 1 free here and more to begin with and had a nice Deep Purple CD that some twit had stolen the CD and left the box. While I'm sure most if not all of the pawn shop will be worthwhile these looks more like a score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdnfay1 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Picked up this pair of F3 at the pawn shop for $100 ea. How'd I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvan Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Not exactly a thrift store, but I went to a closing business sale to a non-retail business that is member of the barter exchange to which I belong. To my suprise, there was a box of vinyl on the floor. It was a TIME CAPSULE. Unopened, unplayed original copies of Hwy 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde. PRISTINE copies of two Velvet Underground records (my son was flipping out) and much more, all at .50 a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Nice F3s. I think $200 a pair would be a sweet deal. Not as sweet as the elusive $40 a pair Cornwalls but those kinds of deals are pretty rare. Evan. - Nice score on LPs. Unopened copies of classics. That's probably what we're all hoping to find.

Find a couple of pristine or unopened Gratefull Dead LPs in that box and Gary would be drooling, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I don't buy anything I see has to be good Steve, If this is to mean you don't buy anything unless you're sure it's good that's a good idea with equipment. But you might want to reconsider your stance if it means you won't buy any new music, even for $1 or $2 if you're not sure you'll like it. I've discovered lots of things I like just by trying or in the case of this forum well, PM or Dennie, or Runnnin, etc have a lot of stuff I do like so maybe I'll like that. In fact I didn't really care for my first Randy Stonehill album, Between The Glory And The Flame (critics loved it so maybe that's a good indication...) but Randy has since become one of my favorite artists. I'm reaaly glad in that case I gave him a second chance. That's probably still my least favorite album of his but in all fairness I've not played in years and have a few on CD.

SSnyder Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You make a good point. Music I meant. My stance is I have already 1000s of records and just have grown more wairy of trying the unknown. . . . but your case works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
