Used the morning to peruse yard sales. I found a really nice old Kenwood receiver and an even better condition, small power Pioneer receiver.
The Kenwood is eighty five watts per channel and the Pioneer is thirty five watts per channel. I have only plugged them in and they both work. Not sure what to do with them but I was not walking away from these treasures, especially at the price. The seller just said that, "They don't do anything." I think meaning no Bluetooth, no wi-fi, no aux input (actually they both do have something compatible with modern day aux) so these are useless.
Thank the gods still living for human stupidity.
The Kenwood was thirty bucks and the Pioneer was ten bucks. There was also a "set in" Garrard turntable (like from an old console or something) with no plinth or supporting structure, but I paid two bucks for that. It has a Shure cartridge. Can not remember the models of anything yet.
They also had a couple hundred albums, but they had been really picked through. I only found some old jazz and a Montrose album. Six LPs total.
So for forty eight (get my arithmetic right) bucks, I found some really cool old stuff.
BUT!! The whole point of the day is that we took our daughter to a really fancy Japanese steak house with a buffet for her graduation meal/family sit down.
I ate too much!
