$10 or less, best scores only.

Dynaco A-10, $6.85. Of course, they've had a lot of work and some money put into them since the original purchase.

I'm away from my digital camera right now.
 
luxman PD-282 tt (which is pretty rare, and pretty good :)): free
Pioneer TX-5300 tuner: free
first pair of advents: free
 
Pioneer sg9 equalizer $10; knight integrated tube amp in excellent condition $5.00; and my most recent find an excellent conditon pioneer pl510a for $7.00
 
Nikko 5055 receiver & Denon DCD520 CD player.
Both working good, very clean, and NO lights out.
$10 each at a neighborhood yard sale.

My score happened last year. Someone wrote a post in the Red.Audio.Tube newsgroup saying be is giving away a Scott 299B tube amp and Scott 370 wide band FM tuner for postage. A deal I could not pass up! I even got a Heathkit W4M mono block in the mix (I might be wrong with the model number).

Regards,
Sal Brisindi

About 6 years ago I got a set of Altec Carmels for $7.00 at a garage sale. They were "too big" so I flipped them, but I've always regretted it. When I found my La Scalas, I learned my lesson and made room.
Never again :no:

I also found a complete Heathkit mono system on the curb, WA-P2 preamp w/ Telefunken tubes, W-5M power amp w/ Mullards, tube tuner, SS-1B extender and the little speaker it went with.
 
I would have to consider this my best score for under $10.
Kenwood KA400 integrated amp in perfect working condition - $3 from the SA!
It was sitting on a table with a bunch of other stuff. Asked the lady how much, as it had no price tag. She said $3. I said sold!
I found the matching KT400 tuner on ebay for $9.99.

A pair of Genesis (Physics) Model 10s for $5 at a yard sale. $45 to refoam and recap though.
 
The only score I gotten for less than $10.00. Marantz Model 125 tuner for $1.00 at yard sale. The FM button was missing but has since been replaced and I built a cabinet for it.

I guess my best would be a Luxman L-450 integrated amp and a pair of Altec Lansing Model Ones for $6. The amp was fantastic but those speakers are absolute killer.

My son (11) found an SX-1010 for me at a garage sale: It was listed for $20; he haggled it down to $10. Pictures to follow and in due course.
 
Not sure if this counts. Bought a rack of Pioneer stuff at the flea market. Right after paying the guy I sold all but the amp and tuner. Found the matching EQ on the way out. Wound up with the three units shown for -$40. Yes, I had $40 more than I came with when I left.

If that does not count, 2 pair of JBL L100's............Free.
