My Sharps (and a couple others)

scottym - 2012-01-07 03:41

Thought i'd share some of what i've acquired over the past couple months since i started collecting boomers. As you can see Sharps are my main love...don't really know why but my first component stereo system back in the mid 90's was a sharp and i loved that thing to death (i still have it too....just needs the driver speakers replaced as they're shot).
I can't really share many of those super bargain stories with this lot i must admit but to me it's been like if i can afford it, i'm going to buy it as you only live once and you could spend years looking for something particular at the "right" price and never find it. These will be with me for a long time (i hope)!

There's a few more i'm still looking for (9090,9191,9595,525) but if it takes a a little while then so be it. Besides, i have all these to play around with!

Keep an eye out for some of my expedition photos featuring some of this lot in the near future. Happy times ahead indeed.

Scott

Great setup Scotty! fine collection you've got there!

 

Is that a car hood in the first picture..? If so be careful of storing these in a humid environment, it tends to REALLY accelerate speaker rot
