Your finds are like a trip through my younger years...Between your cars and your finds, I'm wondering if you have "favorite eras" for your various interests.

Ah, that's a good range you picked there.
Heh heh, those "level lights" take me back! I can *almost* remember the brand of my early-'80s boombox...just might've been a Panasonic!

Somehow, I'm not surprised that the can is empty! Cool though...
August 2nd 2014 finds
So i went into this weekend thinking there wasnt gonna be many sales out, since it is long weekend here in Canada (civic holiday)
I did manage to score a few things though (1 massive boombox) score.
1. Vinyl records - paid $2 each, (sealed Europe KP)
2. SONY c-90 cassettes - $0.25 cents each
3. Vintage tins and weedwacker twine - $3.00
4. JVC M-70 Boombox Ghettoblaster - $15.00 (worth $400-$500)
Cassette and radio work perfect. Few nics and scratches but nothing major.

Ah, more good stuff! Just listened to Brothers in Arms the other day....
Were you able to check out the JVC's operation before purchase, or was it a pleasant surprise?

Went to an old furniture store today . Closed down after 60 years. I like picking through junk. The guy gave me this 1979 plate for free because I was born in march 1979. Also got a 1992 consumers distributing catalog for free, worth $50 minimum. Im going to return next week because its too jammed in the back. Hes got all kinds of vintage automotive stuff!!

That'd be a great place to poke around, I simply love situations like that even if they are tinged with, uhm.... melancholy due to the closing-down.

Well, I'm digging that Fleetwood on the Battered Wives LP.
SAT AUGUST 9TH 2014
Went back to the Friday estate sale (10 minutes before they closed) and bought this 1985 Sony CDP-302 cd player Like new inbox, with remote and manual. It's as good as it gets without being brand new ! Doest look like it was used much ! I paid $25.00 for it. (worth $80.00+)
I also found this SHURE V15 III cartridge in box for $10.00 (worth $400)

That Sony is a tank, they really over-built them back then.
Good spotting on the Shur, most people would never guess it's worth that much.
