Couple of Little Free Weekend Scores

[duckman]

This weekend was our semi-annual Free Weekend Giveaway in our city, and without breaking a sweat I nabbed all this in about an hour driving around People just toss their unwanted stuff on the curb for grabbin' !
Panasonic RX-ES20
Panny FM14 Realistic SCR-40 Headphones look to have never been used

Gorgeous set of Realistc Minimus 7W & Altec computer speakers


All producing sound, but further testing needed.

Oh, and also a wack 'o hand tools plus the set of Technics SB-X500/X505 boomers are on (one of each, lol) speakers for $5 @ a garage sale en route.
Pic pilfered from net as I have already dismantled them

Thanks man! You never fail to crack me up.

Could probably furnish an apt block in a morning if one had a big enough truck on the these weekends. Wish I could have spent some time in my neighbourhood tho! Lot's of retired folks with $

Happy still with this haul.

Thanks guys, and interesting little unit for sure, but I feel it is in need of a Resto-Brite treatment as it was a cream colour originally it looks like. Still looks good tho.

I thought so too! It's like the biggies @ Tandy Corp took all the designers, sat them in a room with a big 'Bag' and said "come up with something different boys!" :gathering:

I can only echo what others have said about that SCR40, but if your going to use them earphones give them a wipe
