Almost a fantastic find

[Fatdog]

I went to the Goodwill Outlet in Nashville today and scored several really nice, sealed, vintage cassettes.

I then saw what I thought was an '80s "component" stereo on the shelf. Upon closer inspection, I saw a handle. Damn! This thing was from a boombox!!! I was looking at the center section of a Magnavox D8643 Super Power Compo with a power consumption of 68W. There was one small hitch though...

NO SPEAKERS!!

I looked all over that store for those speakers and came up empty-handed. Damn it! :annoyed:

So what you're sayin is it didn't look like this?

Bobby, go get the damn thing. I'm sure it can be retrofitted with something...

Dang, Freddie. I forgot about you getting that one. Heck, if anything, I'll go back tomorrow and get it for you to have some spare parts. How 'bout that?

not really that bad maybe you can turn it into a doomer

I really hate when that happens, I've passed up a few boxes for exactly that same reason.

 

[Old school Scott]

Yup, I've been there too.
I was a bit low in the pocket when I saw this one, I sort of still wish that I had gotten it,
But I was trying not to buy every box that I saw

It's cool that you're seeing things in the thrift in Nashville though F.D.
You guys do have a legendary record store, great music and awesome barbeque too.

Too bad you were low on funds OSS...that would have been a good grab if fr nothing than someone who needs parts.

Yes I know
But I have yet to sell or trade.
It sounds scary.

How would this center piece match up with those Ausie CP-7 speakers, I wonder???

It could be "Freddy's Franken-box" and permanent parts-bin!!
