Best Find Ever???


I am curious to hear what the best find you ever had was. It doesn't have to be limited to audio equipment, though best audio find around here gets the 'bull-of-the-woods' I suppose. I read somewhere of a guy who got a Lexicon MC1 from his local pawn shop for $150 because the doofus behind the counter thought it was an equalizer or something. What's the retail on one of those, around $6K? I am either too new at this, too slow, or too much like Charlie Brown to score something like that.

I did have one, not audio. Back when I was young and dangerous and into motorcycles, I had a friend back his truck up to the house with about $10k worth of somebody's entire flattrack program in it. In addition to the bike, there were spare everythings (extra engines, extra wheels, parts, gears etc.--most of it new!) He swore it was legit; I paid him $750, but made him promise if the real owner ever came for it he was giving me back my money and told him I was turnin' him in. I nervously sat on it for about 6mos., (rode a bunch of wheelies) and then sold it for about $5.5k.

One caveat though, if you are going to lie, try and at least make it believable. Thanks. Chris.

I got a Hafler 500 and an Audible Illusions pre-amp for $1 each. I got a bunch of MFSL records too for 25 cents ea.
And some DCM speakers for $15.
The Hafler didn't work, and the MiniMite preamp had
noise, but I did end up selling both.
Got a Nakamichi Dragon some years back, NIB, for five bucks at a yard sale. Also a pair of mint KEF 103s for $25 at the same sale.

Used Lexicon CP1+ for $50 complete with box, manual, and remote. Bought it from my dealer about 2 months ago.
Will- aren't you just a little ashamed of yourself. Stealing from little old ladies is bad karma. LOL. you definately win, IMO.
