I just recently spent about $400 on a Sony TT and a Receiver at Breast Buy which is an over-priced electronic store here in the states.
Man, when I was a kid in the early 90's, you could find TTs and Rec's for five bucks apiece at yard sales. Used to get records 25 cents a pop and doubles for 50.
Started seeing records in stores about...idk...6-8 years ago, and it took about a year and a half to catch my attention. Bout 5-6 years ago, I started seeing retro radio looking TTs with built in speakers and BluTooth
[You wanna have some fun? Hook up BluTooth in the store, crank volume, walk away, and get creative with your playlist.
My buddy who is really really dark skinned started playing the most racist music you ever heard inside a Target store lol. Employees come running and we're a few aisles away just LMFAO. He walks over and starts cussing em out for it asking if they're playing that cause he's black. Oh, man, almost pissed myself laughing.]
I been looking for cheap ones at pawn shops and stuff for a really long time and haven't found any so, I finally bit the bullet.
I've got it all hooked to some vintage 60w 8ohm Sony speakers my pops gave me.
Thanks to eBay, I'm listening to an original October 1963 copy of "Little Deuce Coupe" by The Beach Boys as we speak. Also got a double live TBB album, and Shut Down Volume II which I think is an early 1963 pressing. (Capitol records had a compilation album called Shut Down in 1962)
I bought hits collections for CCR, B Segar, Skynyrd. Bought Eat A Peach my The Allmans, Back In Black, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
I'll be buying more as money allows.
When buying vintage albums, I strongly recommend figuring out the track listing on YouTube first to determine what you're willing to pay for it. I paid too much for SDVII for the songs on it
