VIntage Equipment Moving Sale in Twin Cities Minnesota
Hello AudioKarma Community:
I live in Minnesota and used to visit this website fairly regularly up to a couple of years ago in order to read about vintage equipment and understand more about my passion of old stereo equipment. In the last couple of years the economy caught up with me and I am in the process of moving (end of November) and downsizing considerably. In the years up to this time, I have accumulated many decent vintage audio pieces and find I cannot bring them with me. I do not need really need to make large amounts of money from the sale of the equipment, but really do not want to throw away the equipment (my wife's idea) or even give it to Goodwill. I am also leery of and too busy to really put the equipment up on Craigslist or Ebay in the short time that I have before moving. I am also not really interested in shipping. What I would like to do is offer it to Minnesota AK members at greatly reduced prices. Actually, I am not even sure of what to charge, but am willing to provide the opportunity to Minnesota (or surrounding areas) members to look at the equipment or list of equipment and make reasonable offers. In fact, a reasonable offer to me would even be in some cases to pick the equipment up and take it off my hands. Anyway, I am not trying to give you a sales pitch, because really I just want people to take these things and perhaps pay what they feel is a fair price ( I am sure I would take 1/4 to 1/2 what the things are selling for on Ebay or maybe even less to a good home?) Just as a starting point for discussions, I will suggest $30-50/piece but there is room to negotiate in all cases except as marked below. Thanks, Don (foxford1) Chanhassen, Minnesota Call at 612-819-6462 to talk or arrange a time to look at the equipment List of stereo equipment available Receivers Optonica SA-5206 (black faced receiver) Pioneer SX750 receiver Realistic STA850 receiver Quadraflex 450R receiver Sanyo 2900K receiver (100watts/channel) Superscope R340B (pink dial receiver) Amps Sharp Amp (100 watts/channel black) Samsung SA3500 amp Tuners Fisher PM-725 tuner Rotel RT322 tuner Toshiba ST-800 tuner Kenwood KT413 tuner Turntables Sansui FR4060 TT Pioneer PL-518XD TT Dual 505-2 TT Pioneer PL530 TT Realistic Lab 500 TT Realistic Lab400 TT Sansui SR636 TT Hitachi HT460 TT Garrard DD75 TT Pioneer PL6a flywheel TT Denon DP15F TT Philips 312 TT Philips 877 TT (needs some work) Optonica RP4705 glass topped TT (2) (need some work) Speakers Wharfedale Valdez 506 speakers (might be a little higher in price say $60) ADS L7E speakers (might be more like $75-$100) several small bookshelf speakers from polk, infinity, JBL, etc. I also have some other equipment that needs work and can be had for free if desired

If I lived near you, I'd be all over that STA 850. My dad has one that has blown protection transistors and we can't figure out why it keeps popping them. Very nice looking receiver.
Looks like a decent list of stuff man, I hope you get what you want for most of the stuff. Hopefully life turns around in the near future for you.

Maybe some Minnesota AK'ers can pony express or help with shipping to other Ak'ers? Might help to spread the wealth and help a fella out.
Good luck with the sale and move. Going to warmer parts?

Twin Cities Moving Sale Update
Hello again and thanks for the comments. In answer to one of the questions, I, in fact do not have any small JBL speakers. Sorry, I just have so many I assumed that there was at least one set of JBL. In the next few days as I sort through my stuff I will list exactly what speakers I have, but most are Infinity or Klipsch.
Also, the end result of all this economic turmoil (and the loss of my main job) has been extremely positive. I now have a full time job doing what I love (teaching college chemistry and physics) and have been able to sell my house and will move to a smaller house in the Twin Cities which will be easier to maintain. The whole family is behind the move (the kids are closer to thier friends and staying in the same school) and we will be completely out of debt (hooray!!!). So I still need good homes for all the equipment, and would be even willing to give some away to a good home so please consider a visit to my house if you are at all interested. As far as shipping, it might be possible, but someone would have to pay for the shipping or get someone to pick it up and transport it somehow. Thanks for your help, Don

Good for you,very nice to hear a positive life story, sounds like down sizing and letting some gear go elsewhere is also a positive move on your part. As the saying goes " it's a beautiful thing!"

Hello again: Got a visit from an AKer (mhilton77) and his neighbor and they left with a good amount of equipment!!! So I am reposting the list below to reflect the changes and show what is still available (with couple of new ones that I found while packing up for the big move). I still have plenty to go and I think you will get a great deal so give me a call and come on down. Notice how many turntables I have!!! It must be a disease! Anyway, I move the day before Thanksgiving so just a couple weeks left.

Don is a gentleman, a scholar, and a heck of a nice guy.
I got to visit with Don a spell this evening and ended up carting away a truckload of treasure including a pretty swell Sanyo JCX 2900.
Don if you are out there: Thanks. I wiped it off and plugged it in and it works just great. It's really a nice piece and I will snuggle with it after my wife throws me out of the house for bringing back another stack of orphaned audio equipment. If you need help with the move give me a call or PM me. Steve

Don this is the second time I have started to write this post. First one I deleted after having second thoughts.
But some thing is driving me to ask you about that Pioneer PL-6a TT. I'm putting together a mid 1960's Tube system and that table would look just about perfect with my Scott 233 amp and Scott 312 tuner. BUT I'm in Oregon and shipping a TT properly is a Huge PIA. But I'm gonna ask anyway. What are the chances I could work something out to end up with that table here (provided it's a runner) ?
