Goodwill/SA/Thrift Store Discussions & Finds

[Ironwolf]

Missed out by minutes a guy carrying a twelve slot watch box to the registers. On my way out I ran across an orbita that came home with me.

Came home with another watch and a camera bag.

First vinyl score in a long time. Plus another camera bag.

^ I have found one time just a few years ago two Patsy Cline Records, her first, and third I think, early decca black and rainbow labels. Her stuff was always hard to find unless it was a later issue, they are common.
Are you planning on using a few of those records for target practice?

old GW find but thanks to AI I know much more about it. I like this kind of stuff and it's very difficult to find, and this is a near impossible find....

another unusual piece, since it's a good maker I thought it was a good buy for $3

Is that some kind of compass?

 

[Bill Ashton]

I am guessing maybe a barometer or altimeter?

Found this beauty today for twenty. From the early 70's.

^^^^
A Russian KGB spy watch?

 

[pauldrewry]

Left behind a mid 70's NAD receiver $6. Lable said "needs repairs.'

Curious as to what repair it needed.

It's definitely a reissue as the cover states 180 gram.

I find a lot of backpaks...so far the best has been a North Face and a Dakine

 

[SoCal Sam]

4k Toshiba Smart TV at GW, $40. It will be a Linux Mint streamer.

 

[M70AB2]

Possibly.

Reads “VICTORY” at center, “MADE IN USSR” at bottom.

I'll go out on a limb and postulate the vast majority of Russian watches are not 'spy watches'.

The ArcTeryx Bora 35 is my favourite find. I think I paid $20 for it. It is plenty big enough for my purposes, and the Marmot is my wifes pack. The snowshoes were a find late in the season last year, and so I first got to try it out this winter a few times. I like how it works. The Vaude pack beside the snowshoes is one I used on the Inca Trail. It also went with my stepson to the middle east. I've had a few other good ones that I've moved on. I finally let go my big 65 liter bag just Before COVID or BC as we say these days.
