not realy I went to three boot sales sunday and found nothing..lots of 1990's box's and a few old radio's but nothing good.The weather is the key as it get worse the outside sales get smaller but on the other side in time ,well about a month or so later the indoor bootsales pickup again .it's just the inbetween period at the mo,,that's in britain anyhow.

Had some very good finds the last weeks.
But now the season is nearly over.
Bad weather, so less dealer.
And the indoorfleas can be forgotten.. Frown

yes things are getting better. just scored a philips d8534 sound machine yesterday for £5- beaten down from 8. everything works except the deck which has a stuck on button (play button) and it sounds phenomenal. really bassy and clear. this is my first big philips and i am really impressed. best of all, a guy stood next to me says "you collect them? ive got a big one like that in my shed" so i gave him my number and asked him to dig it out sometime. frankly i wasnt bothered when because the buzz i have off the philips is amazing. its easily my best in the wild find. dont think ill ever top that. oh and i nearly got knocked off my scooter coming back from the venue cos i went the wrong way up a one way street- idiot Laugh Out Loudtrouble was i think all the excitement had gone to my head.
how many more of you have the d8534/sound machines. if you havent got one- find one- theyre really awesome!
