    Default Look what I've got . . still can't quite believe it!

    Just picked this up from a local charity shop after spotting it in their van on Monday.

    I was walking home from shopping and I always check the charity shops for compact discs and saw a van with its doors open outside. I could see a record deck inside, so I took a closer look and realised what it was. I went into the shop and asked about it, but they said it was not for sale yet as it had to be PAT tested, but would be available later. The driver gave me a number to call at their main depot to make enquiries. Anyway, long story short, I just collected it and it was a bargain.



    Just need to work out what to do with it now, I think its for playing those round black things like the one in the picture above

    Hells bells, Tim, what a great find. You'll have to pop back to the charity shop now as it looks like you've only got one single - and it's Jim Reeves

    Seriously, well done!

    FFS I visit out seven charity shops regularly and have never found any Hi-Fi or anything remotely resembling Hi-Fi. I've never even found an LP worth buying !!!

    I have about 150 LP albums left from my original collection and have been buying more at gigs and Record Store days too, so I have a modest collection.
