...They pull me back in!!!!

[Old school Scott]

Yup.
When I was gainfully employed and had extra spending cash,
I would search the Thrift and turn up mediocre results.
Now that I'm just looking for the fun of it, SHAZAM!
The thrift is lousy with boomers.

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Nice, you actually have choices there.

 

[Old school Scott]

This Fisher with weighted tuning dial was missing speakers...

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Great gobbildee gook, never seen anything like that at my thrift.

You should grab it for parts if nothing else. I could use the back case and an antenna if you do snag it and part it out.

 

[Old school Scott]

And finally the reason why I posted,
Look, a Lasonic!
This has got to be a personal record for me as the finest thing ever found in the wild!!
29.99 it came home with me, but now I'll have to sell a boomer that I don't want.
More pics after I shine her up.

Cheers OSS

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Your killing me OSS, I've dreamed about walking in to my thrift and seing what you did.

 

[Fatdog]

Great scores, Scott!

 

[skippy1969]

WOW! I want that Fisher.........

 

[Old school Scott]

This Fisher with weighted tuning dial was missing speakers...

yeh I know, right?
hey, anybody got a picture of what this looks like with speakers?

Cheers OSS

 

[skippy1969]

Please tell me that you DID pick that Fisher up from the thrift store,and didn't leave it there.........

 

[monchito]

wow those are great finds considering that you would think that there are no more boxes but i am amazed they still keep showing up so there bound to be more m90s and other boxes that eventully will show up at the thifty stores

i see the thrift shop force is strong with you.
this is one of the best times of year to hit the thrifts.
many people are getting rid of stuff from that garage sale they were gonna have this summer that they never did.
get em while they are hot.
i just scooped a ten dollar panasonic 680.
your lasonic there tho man is a great find.

oh i would have had a heart attack like fred sanford if i saw that scene ,how much were they asking for the fisher ?.

 

[Old school Scott]

Sorry guys, I did not get the Fisher with missing speakers. and I believe it was 16 dollars.
Like Vienna Sound says, I can't take every box I see.
But here is my shined up Lasonic.
Yes I totally freaked when I saw this from afar, and I quickly stepped over to put hands on it cause there were several people going through this motherload of electronics.

Cheers OSS

 

[blu_fuz]

That thing looks fantastic, nice find and for super cheap!

 

[ViennaSound]

Great score OSS!
Good buy at the LASONIC.
Very nice unit!

btw: what would you say about finding a SHARP VZ2000 the same way/price?

 

[MasterBlaster84]

That was a big score scott, the Lasonic looks fantastic even better than most that sell on ebay.

I have a PH 490 on the way to me. I guess it will arrive this week.
PH 490 seems to have another tape door and no silver dustcaps on the woofers.
