Garage sale finds

LOVE those old cassette tapes!! I remember when "metal" tapes were the best of the best (I think it was the highest bias rating in the early 80s ?). I had a cassette deck that had a florescent meter with "Normal,CrO2,FeCr,Metal",and would "read" the tape and select it automatically.

I still have some of these:

Scored 2 HP Compaq LE1911 19 inch computer monitors at a garage sale today for only $10 each. They are only a year old, and are in excellent shape.

Link to a picture of the monitor on amazon. (too lazy to take a picture)

I have some sealed Sony cassette tapes if you want them for the price of shipping. Send me a PM if you're interested. They're probably circa mid to late 1990s?

excellent finds!

With a Nakamichi and Akai (glass ferrite head), I'm still occasionally use tapes @ home: TDK D (type 1), Sony HF (type 1) and Maxell LM (type 1) are my regular faves. I do use Type 4 tapes (metal) such as TDK and Sony...works wonders in my machines.

I bought them from thrift store these days...

thanks for sharing.

Not a garage sale find per se, but I found this Kenwood receiver for $10 on CL some time ago. I use it to drive two speakers and a sub in my garage...

I'm surprised Brigade was even released in LP in 1990.

Wow. We've gotten some decent stuff at garage sales but never nice old stuff like that. People generally throw that stuff out first. Nice finds.

I didn't catch that at first. Yep,I remember the redline wheels. I think all my old Hot Wheels from when I was a kid have the redlines.
