Best table to Expect To Find at a Garage Sale

I picked up a pristine Thorens TD160 at a garage sale last year for $10 that with $30 worth of tweaks smoked my Music Hall MMF5.

I'm a dedicated garage sale/estate sale digger. Over the last several years I've found some good analog gear, including several Thorens TD160/165/166/145 turntables, a Fidelity Research FR64 arm ($10), and, best of all, a mint Thorens TD124/SME 3012 for $35.

Best one I ever found at a yard sale was a fully functional Dual 1219.
Had an Ortofon OM-10 with extra stylus, plus a 78 stylus.

Only $75.00

It also included a pair of audioquest interconnects that I later sold for $40.00.... So net it cost me $35.00

Garrard 301.Then have the "Shindo" mod done to it.You will have a world class table,at that point!

I found a Thorens TD 180 at a second hand store for $12. Looked to be brand new but was missing the counterweight. Had a cartridge worth about $22 msrp. The hood got a little scuffed up when moving, thats what happens when other people move your stuff though. Still have it around the house and have never got around to getting the counterweight yet. Ben thinkin' about sellin it. Also found pr. of Infinity QA w/Emit tweeter circa late '70s at same store $40. A JVC 2 head w/needle VU's $12. Works good, usually rollers and stuff are wore out. A 10 band EQ $10. Another TT w/all the goodys $12. I forget what department store brand it is. I have 1 record in my collection right now. ( Helen Sheids )anybody ever heard of them.
