chicks' Goodwill Systems

[zebra03]

Well, not quite in the 1% that could afford a Wright-designed home. I do live in an Eichler home, though. Mass produced MCM, very open and livable, at least in CAs mild climate Sort of like those Michael Graves-designed clocks Target was selling a few years back; great design, inexpensively produced.

That's beautiful .

Picked up this Purdy thing on CL for a bargain. ONIX A120. Driving the QUAD ESL-63s. Will have to Polish my knobs regularly, lol.

Your Goodwills are better than mine...

 

[elcoholic]

Don't get your knob polished too brightly chicks. You may go blind and end up with hairy palms.

That is a sweet little amp!

That is a sweet little amp!

F'ing difficult to get a decent photo of the darn thing, with that shiny black face and bright knobs, and tiny gold lettering. I'll keep trying!

 

[chicks]

Slightly better shot. Lots of inputs!

 

[lightcapture]

Awe, I miss the fingerprints.

The leather encased Dot looks pretty good with the classic good looks of the Marantz, don't you agree? Voice controlled power switching and music selection. Vintage and modern can work nicely together.

That's just too sweet, chicks.

Canada has Goodwill outlets - USA has Greatwill outlets.

Not sure how I didn't run across this thread earlier, but very cool! Love the Marantz pics.

Shiny new GW opened a couple weeks ago in town. They sure are making a big push into the 'burbs around here. Found this pretty little Sony HD radio last weekend. Perfect for my Saturday morning NPR fix. Tom Hanks hosting Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me at the moment.

And the rich get richer .

Dress Dot in leather, and she fits right in with the old wood and silver stuff. A pretty little Kenny GW find this time.

Chicks, you are definitely the king of the thrift. Good to see you're visually capturing and sharing these gems. This is surely one of AKs iconic threads.

Gone but not forgotten:

Kenwood KA-3500 still gets a lot of views here:

My best friend in high school (who is still a friend) had this Kenwood. I had a Harmon Kardon HK-505

Was really tempted to keep the Polk Monitor 10a's, they sounded great, but just a bit too big:

I had the 7B in college. They were actually a bit better thought of than the more expensive 10s. I have a pair of 5Bs now. I've replaced the grill fabric and I'm working on replacing the vinyl.

Thanks. It's a fun hobby, but one that I don't take too seriously.
