Thrift store/used bin finds

[fullenglishpint]

my old man has a 1/2" reel to reel tape player, quite like this one

which he got for like £20 a couple of years back. That is some serious retro chic right there.

I used to work at a uni a few years ago and one of the technicians had a mint Akai R2R there that was sitting in a store cupboard - i never got round to asking him for it.

i wish mine only cost $2.00 back in the day... i think my folks paid about $250-$300 when they first came out.

Yeah they're still $100 here Josh. My son's been using an iPhone App, but he can't use the phone in school because it's a phone so this'll be good. It's a little old, but still works fine.

Best thing i ever found was a bass guitar for 60british pound and bought it just because i had money play bass and it was red and gold :eek: and sounded ok, when i got home i looked it up on ebay and they were going for like 900-1000 pound second hand cause it was a discontinued honer bass but still didnt sell it just because it sounds really nice through my amp and i would of only replaced it with another bass so why not keep it till one day its worth maybe a bit more
