Todays Goodwill finds
Well I stopped by the local Goodwill store again today, and here is what I found. Not really sure what I will do with all these small tv sets. I have no idea what the Vidicraft unit is for, well I do know, but I don't know what I will do with it. The Sencore vc93 i really do not have a use for, yet, but I thought no one there even knew what it was. Either I will eventually get a va62, or someone else may need it. Who knows.

I think I used to have a red-case version of the magnavox. Does it have a green-led clock?

I have never been able to luck-up on finding a piece of Sencore equipment @ a thrift store. You sure were lucky on that one!
Back when I was in the biz, I only had one piece of Sencore equipment. It was a $500 isolation transformer/variac/leakage tester. Sencore's high prices were way out-of-line compared to their competition. They made some great test equipment, but you sure paid for them. I had mostly B&K brand stuff on my bench. |

I just picked up a VA48 analyzer. They're the ones, that aren't as desirable as the newer one. It seems like a newer generation B&K analyst. Like GE, it's good enough for now. |

The magnavox does have a green led clock. The sencore piece cost a whopping $2.99. Now I will have to find a va62.

I have not seen a microfiche reader in over a decade.

I assume the PR57. I got a nice one for about $65 with shipping on Ebay maybe 7 years ago or so....and a CR-70 a GOOD One-- works VERY well--for maybe 75....And a VA-62 (NOT 48) for maybe $35, 10 or so years ago.... 25 years ago--all of that would have cost OVER 5 THOUSAND dollars !! |

I still have a microfiche reader. What I need is a way to scan all the fiche into pdf files.

microfiche was antiquated years ago.. brings back memories of the library in the early 90s.
That color Magnavox from '87 probably cost a lot of $ back then. My parents had a G.E. spacemaker color set with fm am radio from that same year, and it cost a lot for such a small set. Had a Matsushita crt in it. |

Only piece of test equipment I can recall buying at a thrift shop was a 70's Heathkit test pattern generator some 3-5 years ago.

I like that set on the lower right.
The thrift store I used to work at, anything they saw as a valuable donation went into a monthly auction at the store. Fortunately they didn't know squat about the Sansui and Dual I picked up. I paid under 25 bucks for both combined. Last edited by Jon A.; 05-22-2014 at 10:31 PM. |

The set on the lower right is a Sears tv. It was $6.99. I really do not intentionally collect these, but I just cant let them go in the trash.
