chicks' Goodwill Systems

[ThorsVinyls]

Chicks - nice collection you've had throughout the years. Your thread was a fun read. Thank you for posting.

The Goodwill Marantz as seen by the Goodwill Nikkor 135mm f/2.8, lol.

Must say your CA Goodwill's selection of fine equipment embarrass our pitiful NC Goodwill's for the downtrodden.

This forum does make me want to check out the local good will shop more, but I think the finds will be less good (though I did find the original Star Wars sound track on vinyl for $0.99 there, so it is worth checking).

Great thread chicks. Thanks for sharing your finds.

Thanks. It's a fun hobby, but one that I don't take too seriously.

I don't believe this for a second!

It's Chick's Good Will. The ones down in the Bay Area, near San Francisco, not so much.

Not so much here anymore either. Most of the good stuff gets diverted to shopgoodwill.com these days.

Well no one can say you didn't have a world class string going for quite some time chicks.

I see other west coasters talking about LP collections and gear coming from the thrifts. Here in MI I've never seen a name brand piece of gear or a desirable LP in a thrift and that's no bull. So thanks for showing how great it was but you're right, GW.com is where it all ends up now.

An old German made Kodak, a Canon viewfinder, the Marantz and some great album covers grace the Mancave, all GW finds. The wood case is from an AK member. I love the look!

I have a nice collection of vintage camera as well, all from various places.

Yeah, they're hard to resist.

Brought the AR AU integrated out for some exercise. It was originally designed to drive AR3s, so is appropriate for a more modern AR 12" 3-way design, the excellent but not well known AR-91s.

Very impressive thread! I'm afraid I missed out on the days of finding this kind of quality gear at the GW. I have been looking locally and find nothing but crap that is of no interest.
Great job on flipping your finds and funding your music collection!

Fun little Nikko 501-S find from Craigslist. A good scrubbing with toothbrush, some lamps, and a Sharpie to hide the dings on the faceplate. Sweet little thing, not much power, but I like the look!

She’s purty. Nice find on CL chicks!

Your gear photography is formidable. You could make a rusty mailbox look good. Excellent as always.

Nothin' special, anyone can do the same. Important things are a tripod and lots of natural light, preferably from a north facing window. 50mm (equivalent) lens, f9 or so, auto aperture. Focus near the left side of faceplate.

The little Nikko is right at home in formal settings, lol.
