A Lenco B52 - $30
A Stanton 680 - $10
A new generic elliptical stylus for above $20

My wife convinced me to stop at a Saver's thrift store on a Saturday afternoon about 4 years ago. We had just spent all morning garage/yard sailing and I was eager to get home.
I reluctantly agreed to stop in. As I was approaching the electronics section I heard a sudden blast of music from a local FM radio station.
One of the store's associates had just finished setting this system up:
Pioneer SX-838
PL-15D II
and a set of CS-99A (pictured next to a set of CS-99)
The only real work needed was to open the PL-15Dii and re-attach the micro-switch that falls off the underside of the plinth due to Pioneer using plastic screws that get brittle over the years.
Always wanted to meet the original owner, my bet is that he was a Vietnam era veteran that bought this gear from the Military Exchange Stores.
I served in Asia during that period, but never could put enough money together at one time to buy any Japanese gear.

AR XA turntable with the original boxes, and a pair of Minus 7W speakers with 1 box that look unused, $45. I only had $38 on me, so I returned with $7 a couple days later.

A bundle consisting of 2 receivers, Pioneer SX-650, Sony STR-6040, Two turntables, Technics SL-Q200 and a BPC Pioneer, a Yamaha GE-20 10 band equalizer, Pioneer CT-F500 tape deck, Roland mixer, Heathkit model 10-30 O-Scope and, wait for it... A pair of JBL Summits all original drivers. Everything for $500.00. Sold some kept the rest. Obviously I am keeping the JBL’s. Needed woofers refoamed, new midrange diffusers, and were missing glass tops and one grille frame. They sound great. Here’s how they look so far...

$25 for my Thorens 124. Did that twice.
Pair of MC 30 for $25, but they did need some work.
There were some others too, but those were the highlights.
