I got an '85 F-150, things got an antique radio and a couple speakers. Perfect for cranking up the Wham! and rolling those 35"s over everything.

Who can name is partner in Wham! without looking it up?
Yamaha CR-620 in the shopSome of the old 70's, 80's equipment are making a comeback, anyone have some old stuff that's still un use?
I have, don't laugh, a mint condition Realistic receiver (STA-95, built in JAPAN in 1979). Now before you look down on it, Realistic actually had receivers that kept pace with Marantz, Pioneer, Sansui. They didn't surpass them, but they were solid runners up, the one I picked up from a guy was used for ONE MONTH! His dad bought it, along with a pair of Optimus Tower speakers, got divorced and boxed them up for a 3-1/2 decades. Again, a very good speaker, not a mark or ding on them, perfect condition.
Also have an Akai cassette deck with the old VU meters, in great shape, an early 80's Sony Turntable, and another pair of speakers, LTV University Medallion "monitors," good sounding for the age.
I wouldn't mind getting a higher up Marantz or Sansui, but some of the top end units cost an arm and a leg. What you got?

Pretty sure I have over 400 vinyl etc. Even more if you can 45s
That's a lot of vinyl. I used to have about 1000 or so and sold a bunch in the 90s. Was down to about 300 for the last 20 years. Bought about 300 since summer. Mostly from friends unloading what they have. Got some good deals. Records and vintage equipment are expensive these days. Trying to locate a decent older turntable cheap is getting hard. I threw away my Pioneer pl516 15 years ago because the speed control was screwed up. Probably an easy fix. Now people want a lot of money for them. Threw out a Luxman amp too that had issues.I found out the definition of "fun" when I had to move my collection from Colorado Springs to Lincoln. At the time I had 14,288 LP's, just under 2,000 CD's, cassettes and, yes, 8 tracks. I have a 1968 AMX with the original AM radio/8-track so have to have something to play.

I've been collecting seriously since the early 1980's. The thrifts in Colorado Springs used to be great for records and old equipment. Being a heavily military town you would find all sorts of foreign LP's. I remember going into a Goodwill one day, back when the LP's were .50. They had just put out a collection of 60's and early 70's English rock. I got stuff like all of the Rolling Stones LP's in both mono and stereo up until Exile on Main Street, Marianne Faithful's catalog, most of the Dave Clark Five's catalog on Epic, etc. I spent about $68 and came out with over 120 LP's.
I've also got all sorts of great equipment in thrifts, like a Pioneer SX-1080 for $60 and a Teac Z-5000 cassette deck, the Dragon killer, that retailed at $1,000, for $25. I agree about the TT's now. But back in the day I bought a Pioneer PL-570 for $35, a PL-71 for $18, 2 PL-115's for $20 each. Then there was the Mitsubishi LT-22 with a Grado Gold cartridge for $25. But the equipment availability at the thrifts dried up around 2016.
Awesome piece of equipmentSounds like a motorcycle.
If you are in the Omaha/Lincoln area and are ever looking to unload some records or equipment I would be interested.
I had a friend in college, a rich kid who had a nice stereo. He had one wall covered with a rack and must have had 500 albums. I'd go over and we would have a cocktail before we headed down to the bars in Lincoln. He would get our drinks then stand in front of his albums for a minute and every time pick Rolling Stones, Some Girls. We must have done that 50 times and it was his only album I ever heard.I've been collecting seriously since the early 1980's.

I had a few nice Goodwill finds in Omaha recently. Very clean SX-780 for $25. Works great. A beautiful Yamaha M-60 power amp for $20. Looks new. A pretty nice condition Garrard DD-75 turntable for $25. Needed minor adjusting but working great. Had been looking for a vintage receiver and turntable. Will probably sell the Yamaha.I may be looking to unload some LP's in the future. I'll keep you in mind.

I think it was World Radio. Bought my first speakers at the Southroads location in about 1979.What was the name of the stereo store that used to be in the Westroads in the mid-late 70s? They always ran radio commercials featuring Pat Kirowishi (general manager). I bought several pieces of equipment there. World Radio??? Anyone?
