What I learned on Craigslist

Chester Drawers are the ones Chester Good used in Gun Smoke.

I don't even know what's going on here...

It just says:

Big speakers 50.00

 

[toxcrusadr]

A sad state of affairs for a pair of ESS, that's what.

 

[BilboBaggins]

They are big though. But agreed. Not much ESS left.

Hammond Organ For Sale - $3000

Like new Hammond Organ for sale. Buyer must pick up.



That's it. No model number, not even a crappy pic. Asking 3 big ones and won't give you any idea what it is unless you ask.

Was that Lee Michael's ?

When you have little to say ... say little.

Up shit creek without a paddle.

That's "crick".

 

[beat_truck]

That's "crick".

You're right. In this area, I suppose that would have been a better word to use.

Nice nostalgia piece. He might get his price.

Adding for posterity!

Somebody sure had grass. But it wasn't the mowing kind.

 

[DonQuixote99]

If you had one of those parking lots with spaced/hollow bricks and grass growing around them, that mower bike might work well. Not on other terrain though. Seems overpriced in any case.

How does that thing actually turn a corner? I mean think about pushing a reel mower vs. riding a bike. The two do not move the same way.

Well, this guy seems pretty good at going in a straight line. It seems one would have to go over the same areas a few times, since it accuracy is not it's best quality...

I wondered the same thing! It looks like there's a servo (? whatchamacallit ?) or some sort of assembly on the fork to accommodate a turn.

 

[toxcrusadr]

It looks like it makes slight turns, he's wobbling a bit in that video, but I wonder what would happen in a tight turn.

Today I learned you can ask $3K for a pair of speakers without posting a photo. "Must hear to appreciate" is good enough.

"Altec theater speakers - $3000 (Roanoke) These speakers are unbelievable! Refurbished exterior only. Innards are all original. Must hear to appreciate."
