An all-recycling center system

[hmegdal]

Over the past two months, I have assembled the following in my office:

A Dual CS 620Q Turntable

An NEC CD-420 CD Player

An Onkyo TX-SR805 Receiver

All three were left at my nearby recycling center. All in wonderful working condition. Utilizing them with some ESM-2 speakers. It is glorious.

Nice finds.

Sweet!

What an awesome score!

You are lucky to be able to rescue stuff like that. Our recycle center is one way- I think they threaten arrest if someone tries to take something.

Very nice. Enjoy!

Our recycle centre sells stuff cheap. Over the last couple of years I've had Yamaha, Technics, Akai, Rotel, Sony, Pioneer all for 5 to 10 bucks a unit.

I found a whole Pioneer surround setup with a really nice amp and 5.1 speakers all for $60 a while back and that is now rocking my sons bedroom

Cool recycling finds and welcome to AK

Shocked to see you picked up that Onkyo at recycling center. I know it's by no means new, but it still has HDMI and a lot of features. I purchased the one I have about a decade ago and it still works well. Be sure to keep it cool, as they were notorious for the HDMI board failing....I have always had cooling fans on the one I have that kick in at a certain temp. It's used in the living room, so I need to extend the life of the HDMI.

Forgot to suggest putting the Onyko in "Pure Audio" mode.

Cool man. I work at a recycling facility and have so far built two systems from stuff I've found. Amazing what some people throw away.
