And yet, it's in perfect working order. Mmm-kay.
Ok, not Craigslist, but a local auction....... I literally laughed out loud when I saw it..."Solid State 14-Speed Blender"
It's an old Sears blender and actually does say "solid state" on it. I wonder if there's a forum out there some place for vacuum tube blenders???
This vintage Tatro cabinet radio has been listed for awhile now... seems like something is missing...

That thing's gorgeous though. But they'll have trouble getting $225 for it without a speaker. Any collector worth their spindly legs could find a correct replacement though. I would.
I buy a lot of non-audio stuff on CL. But it is only when trying to buy audio stuff do I find sellers so clueless. They have no idea when and where they want to meet to sell.
When I respond to an ad, I always ID the part of town I am, give a range of hours I am available, and give my phone number. I then ask the seller when and where they want to meet.
I am currently trying to buy a pair of Epicure speakers for $50. After several messages back and forth, I got a reply from the seller today at 3am that I can pickup before he goes to work today. Huh? Of course I did not see the message until mid-morning. And the message still did not give a location. I responded and he replied at noon that I can pick up when he has lunch. Huh? What time does he have lunch and where does he work?
This happens way too often. Idiots.
This kind of BS is the main reason I missed out...
I agree, that cabinet is in great shape for its age... question is, do the electronics work? Wouldn't even know where to start on testing it...
Replacement speaker? Nah, at this point ...
Ah yes . . . the highly sought after IBM Selectric II.

I had one that was actually a type setting machine. It looked much a regular Selectric, but with extra buttons off to the side. I sold it to a collector (I think) in Canada, probably 10 to 15 years ago. I think I got $80-ish for it.
If a Selectric would connect to a computer and be used as a printer, I'd do it...... I think there were some that were made that way, unless I'm thinking of the Wheelwriter.
