LGR - Thrifts [Ep. 22] After Dark
video description
They have the beloved 'swing arm' Philips CDM2 laser unit which always, and I mean always works. Except for some dead digits on the display every now ant hen, these things are pretty much bullet proof.
That Sony deck is probably broken but if you'd ever run into that whole rig, you'd be amazed.
The record player actually has a drawer for the record: D.
Ermagerd!
Aww, that pooh 45. I'd have taken that: .
Oh man, that solid state stereo. If it wasn't for the broken off shell. Hell Yes!
Hey, it's a Megapixel Mavica. Those aren't even that shitty.
Pity it's got the 2x FD drive. The 4x is hilarious, sounds like someone sped up an old IBM drive: D.
That GE radio is very cool indeed.
Impressed with how many of these 'odd' brands you guys had there.
Everything here is Pioneer, Sony, Philips, Akai.
You guys got Soundesign, Electrophonic, Radioshack, the lot. And though that may not actually be a good thing, it sure makes finding this stuff more interesting and varied.
That powerbox is ridiculously overpriced: D.
Heathkit is pretty serious stuff really.
I want to find one of those CS-10's Epic.
Cool scope too but 50 bucks defective, nope.
BIC venturi actually have a cult following. They are supposed to be pretty good, even though they look like kabuki crap.
75 is a bit much considering the way they look though.
LGR rules. Epic! I'd love that if I were you: D.
Trump again? Jeez friggin' christ. If only we'd known.

Super late to these episodes, but I just wanted to add something: that Bosch radio is actually a construction site radio (Baustellenradio in German. They can be powered by the 10. 8V to 18V power tool batteries and thus be easily portable and rugged enough to survive in that environment. They are available by other manufacturers as well (Makita, DeWalt) and come in different sizes and require different sized batteries. The one you have there is the high end model (not sure which year though) and probably requires the 18V battery pack. It costs about 150 to 200- new. Neat things these.

All that floor space, all the stuff that they DO keep on the shelves. and they throw out the discs that arrive -in disc boxes- and so wouldn't take up any more space?
I mean, sure, toss the hand-labelled ones that contain people's personal documents and such, but. surely hold on to the commercial ones? Maybe you could get in contact with the company and offer to take all the donated commerical floppies off their hands, no questions asked. Might end up throwing away 99% of all those they pass along, but the 1% you keep would be more than worth it.

That Mavica you were holding, i have the exact same one although i only have the camera, a bag and the battery but no charger so i had to ask dad (i was 5) to charge it with some special equipment and i was allowed to use a computer which had 2 40 or 80 GB hard disks where of one was empty and i was allowed to put all my pictures on it. I put it full. Also it was my first camera and i still have it. dreaming my dad wants to charge it again and if i can find some floppies. Also LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

0: 50 Holy shit, they used these projectors when I was in grade school! They had these weird slideshow/audio book things, usually old ass nature documentaries or 60's live action Disney films. 3: 00 I also had this board game as a kid, it had these different puzzles printed on cards you would slide into the board and these plasticized cardboard things you wrote your answer on in crayon.

I think that projector at the beginning is a film strip projector. I remember my teacher using those in elementary school to teach lessons. There would usually be an audio cassette that accompany that, and you actually have to manually advance each frame when the cassette beeped.

It's a shame the charity shops in the uk are nowhere near as good as this. They meticulously research the value of everything and if an item is of any slight desirability they sell it online. So the shops are just left crammed with old paperbacks and clothes.

That projector at the start was for showing -film strips. - I remember them back in my earliest days of schooling in the 70s. When the accompanying audio cassette beeped, you advanced to the next frame. Yes, they were built like tanks to stand-up to school use.

This is the video where he talks about Japanese style big buttons! I remembered that information and years later bought that exact Sony cassette deck specifically for the buttons, and now I know where I first heard about it, thanks LGR!

A few years ago, my friend bought an ink cartridge from OfficeMax. She asked me how to open it. the cashier didn't remove it from the protective case! So it makes sense that a plastic case could leave a store and end up at Goodwill.
