Purchased this morning from original owner who picked it up from Radio Shack in '78 - silver-faced Realistic STA-95.
Surprisingly sensitive tuner pulls in distant stations on my lo-tech speaker wire antenna.
With a whopping 45 watts per channel, everything works as it should following a bit of TLC, compressed air, deoxit and cleanup.
Yeah, I realize it's low-end; however, this is the "finds" section - it was only $5 and a good match for the $1 SCT-19 cassette player from last week (which still needs belt).

Nothing audio, but when you get up and there are only 5 sales in the paper because its 39 degrees outside, ANY score is s good score. Grabbed a Gunvault NV300 with security cable for $2. Have to show the web picture because mine is under the back seat of my truck where it will be used to keep my stuff safe.

Nothing at all wrong with an STA-95.
A very nice receiver that will likely sound great.
 
Got outbid on a couple items I wanted, but ended up scoring the following for $50:

No picture yet of the Fisher Rangexpander Reverp amp, but its there and looks new...

I was perusing an estate sale website and came upon a sale with the following equipment listed.

A/V Equipment, Audio / Visual cables, Mitsubishi AM/FM Tuner, Mitsubishi Tape Player, Technics CD Changer, Panasonic Stereo Console, Kenwood Stereo Cabinet, Sony A/V Control Center, Sony Tape Player, Sony VHS Player, Technics Speakers, Panasonic Speakers, Fisher TV, Mitsubishi TV, Pioneer CS-303

Nothing really looked that intriguing but when I scrolled down through the pictures, I spotted these.

Even through it was the third day of the sale, I was in the area so I decided to swing by. Surprisingly, they were still there. They're a pair of Genesis II+ in pretty good shape though they need new foams as usual. Really didn't need another project but I just couldn't help myself. (It was 1/2 price day to boot!)
 
i've seen many "wild-eyed southern boys" that just let it dribble down onto the wife-beater t-shirt

The Southern boys have evolved in the last 20 years - now they're wearing Guy Harvey T-shirts....I think this started when Browning brought out their new logo bumper stickers, but the driving force may very well be the introduction of the rock-n-roll guitar to country music. Country boys ain't what they use to be, they're much more well coiffed and epicurean these days - we are seeing the evolution of species right before our eyes!

You will love those Genesis if they are anything like the Genesis 2s I had! Look like them. Particularly sweet with a nice 80s Yamaha amp.
