$10 or less, best scores only.

[restorer-john]

We have all had some awesome scores for stupid money. Lets be honest (really, not what we tell our wives) and show our best score (1 only for now) for $10 or less. (euro, AU, US or whatever). No cheating or fudging ok?
Here's my favourite from several years back at my local dump shop for $2, one foot was missing but I found the foot about 6 feet from where the turtable was- it has just unscrewed a fallen off! She needed some real work to clean up and polish and a minor repair, and I still need an arm rest but she's a beauty.

Sheila.

Three two-dollar MGD drafts at the Abbey Lounge cheap draft night, and another three bucks to generously tip the bartender.

Wow, I miss that girl.

 

[thedelihaus]

Oops. i'm over by a few $s.

That wasn't including the cab ride home.

Sorry.

Well, if the wood case is beat, I guess that disqualifies you. Yep, and it's a shame, too, because a working Mac receiver for $5 would have put you in the running...

Great finds, but remember I asked for ONE only and your favourite. No multiple listings of scores- that's easy. Pick your favourite sub $10 score and post a PIC for proof. :thmbsp:

Sorry, no pic, but my best/favorite score still has to be my Pioneer TX-9800 tuner that cost me $5. I'm using it now, & it works great.

My Marantz 2265B I piked up for $4.25. Works fine after a good cleaning. It does need some lights though
