marantz 7c for $65 in a pawnshop in 1977. I had a 1060/105 combo and had craved the 250/3300/120 trio. Went to a pawnshop with a friend and there it was. I had to wait a week for it to clear. I was waiting for the guy to open-up on day 7. I asked him about it and he just said: "I don't know what it does, ya gotta plug it into something!" Had it modded in 1986 (based on the Sid Smith mods) Sounds great and it is a "daily driver!"
Best bargain find ever ?
I've just missed out on sooo many I'm curious what others have snagged. I've found some really good deals but have yet to hit the proverbial jackpot. I once got a Kenwood KD-650 TT w/granite base/ SME 3009 III/Shure V15MR MKV in immaculate condition with owner's manuals for $200.00. I also snagged a Parasound PH/P 850 Pre-Amp for $125.00 (when they were going for $450.00 new) I also once got a complete Adcom set-up GFA 545 II amp, GTP-450 Pre, GCD 600 CD Player with a pair of Paradigm Titan speakers for $400.00. How about you ?
