Picked up a Sony PS-LX2 turntable, Sony SLV-D300P VHS/DVD combo, Sony MDR-IF210 wireless headphones and Epicure 2.0 speakers for $17.50 at an estate sale. The Epicures need to be refoamed of course.
I mainly bought them for the three Wiggled 45s. They're a favorite local band.The only one of those I even know is Black Flag, but I would have bought them too just figuring they were something.
The covers have an early Who/Kinks kind of vibe. What's the music like?I mainly bought them for the three Wiggled 45s. They're a favorite local band.
More garage rock than punk. It's pretty good.The covers have an early Who/Kinks kind of vibe. What's the music like?
Wiggled? I see Woggles!I mainly bought them for the three Wiggled 45s. They're a favorite local band.

And is that Sham69 single an original, or reissue?
Back in the '00s before the workers at the GW Clearance began sorting through the stuff for anything that might be vaguely old and "collectible",I found a GS77 in the bins.I kept asking around online if anybody could restore it for me.Everybody I asked said these things were such a pain to work on,they wouldn't want to touch it.So I eventually ended up sending it to a guy for parts.I picked up this Glaser-Steers GS77 at a neighbor's tag sale on Friday. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, it'll need a complete rebuild. I've never seen one in the wild, so for $15 I took a chance.

I also grabbed this Nikko 8080 that was at a sale last week. She was asking $60 and it didn't sell because she still had it yesterday when I stopped by. We settled on $30.
It is super clean. There are 2 phono inputs, pre out, and main in which is nice. It sounds good too.

The lights look weird because the diffuser sheet behind the scale was burned and dark, I removed it temporarily.

Edit: It turns out the Nikko has a DC offset issue. If anyone seeing this can help, I have a thread in solid state:http://audiokarma.org/forums/index....lp-me-adjust-bias-on-a-nikko-sta-8080.792268/
Something else I found back in the "good old days" of the GW Clearance.This still hasn't been restored yet.Radio sucks where I live.I relative cleaned out his sold storage bin, and then asked if I wanted an old stereo receiver he had. It's a Fisher 600 - T.... My first actual receiver project has begun....
