Just picked up Infinity RS-10 at a garage sale today. Surround foam seems to be holding out for now. Cabinets have some black overspray, but for $5 they make a great garage/shop speaker. In fact my garage has never sounded better. The polycell tweets sound great and just enough bass for rock and...

Made a trip to the landfill today, recently did some remodeling so I had the car packed. After unloading I did the slow roll through the e waste section and spotted a couple of large cabinets, the coast was clear so I grabbed them. No markings or tags so I had no idea what I had grabbed until I...

Really like my ESS Monitors so I jumped at the chance to Pick up a pair of working ESS transtatic speakers tonight. I was surprised how much larger and heavier they were compared to the ESS monitor.

Earlier this year I found a Sanyo Plus 130 receiver at my local ewaste drop off site. Amazing find considering they only made about 1500 of them, that puts its rarity in the same league as Marantz 2500. Very cool with the tuner displaying both digital and analog. LED power meters and unique...

Picked this up a couple of years ago. I have been waiting patiently until I had about a dozen restorations under my belt. Now I am putting my big boy pants on and diving in. I knew when I purchased that it was not working, but it’s a rare day to find something like this at a garage sale. It has...

What I learned on eBay 1. Bubble wrap goes on the outside of the box. 2. Use any flimsy cardboard box you can dig out of a dumpster, extra points for tight fit over dust cover. 3. Use plenty of styrofoam peanuts. 4. Most importantly, Even if the customer sends you 2 separate messages...

Hi I recently came across 6 years of audiophile magazines. I tried to sell them on bartertown and didn’t get much interest. I didn’t want to bother with eBay but still didn’t want to trash them. I have been visiting https://worldradiohistory.com/American-Radio-History-FAQ.htm for the last...

Was finally able to attend some yard sales last week and came across a very dirty pair of ESS Monitors. After doing a little research I thinking that They deserve to be restored Looks like there were a couple different versions of the Monitors , these have the disc style passive 12”...
