Dammit.
I keep hearing how wonderful Dynaco A-25's are, and I've never even SEEN one in person. Seems Ky is a parched desert for Dynacos.
Anyway, very happy you like them. I know people here rave about them, and they're on my radar for many years now.
Wanna pay shipping on a pair of Peerless A25s?
Try PMing me, my box may be full.

Passed on a pair of bull nose large advents at the recyclers today. One of the cabs was totally sun bleached, a tweeter had a dimple, and the woofers needed to be re-foamed.....that was strike three.
Too bad, they'd been perfect for e-waving.

Marantz 2265 that just needed a good cleaning. $5.00
Dual 1009f: Needed headshell adjustment: $10.00
McIntosh XR5's. Perfect. $20.00
My best finds were:
Knight KN815 triaxials (Goodmans) built into gigantic homemade cabinets for $10.00
Then, a week later, I found a pair of Lafayette triaxials (Goodmans) for $70.00
Carver MX-130 receiver: $5.00
Bose 301 series IV: 10.00

I found this today at my local thrift. I was passing through after picking up my daughter from school and felt the need to go inside. I found a Technics SL-1310 for $10 without the needle, but was able to find it at my local Guitar Center. I've uploaded before and after pics and please forgive me for the constant updates...it's my first time joining the forums.

Acoustic research ar 3
Sunday the 13 april 2014 i also found a AR 3 pair of speaker for $10
the pair!!! I remember the date cause it was one day before i start
my new very good work. Same if they get sold on ebay for an average
of $1500 Us i decide to keep them because they sound like no other
speaker and still have it. I build my system around. With a CM LABS 912
completly rebuild and a Meridian 565 as pream and dac. Well just amazing...
This is the kind of find where you will forget all the days you return form
thrift store with nothing... Also found recently a Digidesign 1622dac @
$12.50 who really surprise me with is sound quality. This unit was $1595 us
in 1999. He stay on the store for several day because nobody know what
it was.I search the web and when i realize it original price and it was
a dac i jump on it the next time surprise that no one has buy it...

These are still available, if anyone is interested. :sigh:
That is a fine table. I found a Technics SL-1301 awhile back (now owned by AK'er PhoenixFall) at a yard sale, and really liked it, similar build. Would have kept it, but I have too much stuff. It is being enjoyed now by PhoenixFall instead of hoarded by moi.
Great score, and welcome to AK!

I picked up a marantz 8b and a mcintosh c22 for 10 bucks at an estate sale. ($5 ea) Once in a lifetime, I am sure.
McIntosh in the wild
I agree, I have been buying, selling, collecting for years. You name it, I'll shop there. Estate, Garage, Thrift, Outlet, Storage Auction, Flea Market, Etc. I have come across one single piece of McIntosh equipment in a thrift many years ago, before stores did debit regularly. Went to the bank for cash, less then one half hour, came back it was gone.
