Oh my goodness 40 episodes of LGR Thrifts! Yeah, here we are. And I know the perfect way to celebrate. Let's go thrifting. [thrifty music plays] It's a Goodwill! Good, we'll go inside and get things started. And it's kind of an open floor plan going
on today. And one of the first things I noticed [laughs]
Oh Goodwill. It's an outboard boat motor just sitting in
a shopping cart as-is for $75. All right. Also in this other buggy there was a couple
of Pioneer speakers that looked kinda cool. CS-C9000s. Though for a hundred bucks and looking pretty
beat up I doubt those are moving anytime soon. Over in the CDs and hey what do you know:
a DOS game! It's Batman Forever: The Arcade Game. Did not know that came out for DOS. It's not one I'm looking to add to my collection
loose but hey you know: yay, DOS games! Ooh what is this homedicks thing? Homedics, home-whatever. Aquascape CD Tower, yeah "a kaleidoscope of
bubbling light." That is wonderfully tacky and what is this,
"missing the power chord." Chord? Oh Metallica is not gonna be amused. Over in the glass case next to the tiki mugs
and weird little fat guy with an open head and bowler hats there were some Nintendo GameBoy
cartridges for various systems. Nothing I'm looking for but you know. There it is. Also in the case were more games, a plastic
bird, a copy of Windows Live OneCare. Mmkay. And this guy right here who appears to have
seen better days, with the knives stuck through his body. But you know he looks comfortable enough so
whatever. Over in the electronics and ahh you know I'm
not usually one for dial-up modems, I don't have much use for them. But if this was more complete I would've definitely
wanted to get it. This is a US Robotics Courier 2400 baud dial-up
modem. Oh it's neat. I mean it looks neat anyway, again wouldn't
really be able to do much with it. Yeah I'd kinda like to get something of this
style if I were to get an external modem to show off or something sometime. Up above here was a kind of a neat little
bookshelf stereo system by Realistic. Speaking of woodgrain, check out these Bose
speakers! I didn't catch the model but they seem to
be some kind of corner speaker setup. They had drivers all around, it's just a neat
looking thing I thought. This caught my eye as well for its circular
design, look at this Harmon Kardon CD changer. They way it opens up with this round lid reminds
me of like a giant PlayStation 1 or something. I don't know, just haven't come across a CD
changer of this style on Thrifts before. What is this yellowed thing with brown buttons? A Take-a-Long tape player? I guess a kids battery powered tape thing. Yeah it felt like it weighed like nothing,
hehe like I've held packs of gum that were heavier than this. Let's see what is this, got a Genesis Phil
Collins camera here? Eh no it's just some camera. Ah I dunno, maybe there's something interesting
about it but it's not for me, unlike this Sony FD-7 FD Mavica over here. So this is a nice little digital camera, I've
covered these before. But I don't think I've run across the FD-7
while thrifting before. And no floppy disk inside, I always like to
check just in case anybody's filled it up with retro photos. Speaking of retro, hehe got some brand new
PDA screen protectors. Mm, can't say I'm needing any of those but
yeah. Got a step-down voltage converter for electronics
travel conversion so you don't blow stuff up! And what in the world, look at all these still-sealed
ethernet adapters, for, looks like they're all PCI. That's too bad, might've grabbed one if they
were ISA but nope. Onto another Goodwill! And you know I didn't notice until I was recording
this voiceover: is that a ripoff Star Wars Lego set? Wish I'd noticed when I was there, that's
a little weird. But anyway up above I did notice this, a Captain
James T. Kirk 12-inch vinyl model kit. I guess it's just a vinyl figure, it's from
a company that does model kits. And then checking out the toy section, certainly
seems like someone was into Star Trek and then, well, not anymore. There were a number of random Star Trek new
old stock items just hanging around. Next Generation figures and a SkyBox, whatever
that is. Got a Stardate calendar here for 1997, aw. And why do I feel that this is related, I
don't know. We have a Non-Sport Update, "the magazine
for the discriminating collector of non-sport cards." I like how they put "babe" in quotes. What the heck, Bob Ross with painting hair? All right so I guess there was a Bob Ross
game, The Art of Chill. I did not know that, what a happy little accident! Speaking of little what are these tiny little
books? Oh they're drink coasters! Yeah they're made to look like little encyclopedia
volumes. Heh. Speaking of strange encyclopedia-themed things,
check out this lamp. It's got a couple of encyclopedias and various
other books, they just glued them together, drilled a hole through the middle and made
it a lamp. I mean you know. It's pretty enLIGHTening but... nyeheheeh. Aw here we go, we got some electronics that
for whatever reason they really catch my eye. Look at that Sharp SA-X50AV receiver and that
blue and red and gold on black color scheme, I really like that. Even that Fisher CD changer down below, I
dunno. It's kind of an appealing design, man: A/V
stuff. It's good stuff. Ooh what is this, I see retro keyboard. We got a Yamaha PSR-12. Actually in pretty decent shape. It was twenty dollars. No power cord and ah it's just a really simple
kind of piano anyway but more fascinating than most I see at Goodwill. Mm, so is this, augh. This Pioneer stereo receiver model SX-990,
I was highly tempted to grab this. It was $125 though. Anyway great looking machine. Ooh this is interesting, it looks like this
goes to maybe like a portable VCR kind of deal here. Yeah, there's a cable on the back here that
looks like it goes to the VCR but -- oh look there it is. Yeah that has seen better days but you can
see the little metal things coming out the side there, it's where you put a strap, connect
that, carry it around, record with your camcorder, whatever. Oh look at this lonely little CRT on a table
over here, what is this. LXI? Never heard of that. And on the way out there was quite a substantial
selection of someone's snow globes they dropped off. Is that a Santa Yoda? Huh. All sorts of fascinating things in here, look
at there, there's a Blues Brothers car snow globe. Never know what you'll find here. All right onto another Goodwill! And inside the glass case here a Star Trek
25th Anniversary collection of cards. Wonder if that was donated at the last store
and got sent here. Anyway, didn't spend too much time with it
because right behind that was this gigantic Sony projection TV. A somewhat newer model of this type of thing,
looks like it was $150 they dropped it to $75. Yeah made in 2003. CRTs! Definitely. And for whatever reason there were a ton just
hanging around the Goodwill today. I counted at least a dozen units from all
sorts of companies: JVC, Sharp, RCA, Magnavox, Zenith, Panasonic, Philips. A couple of them were kinda decent. Nothing I needed or would personally pick
up but then this one caught my eye. Look at this little guy, this is a GoldStar
TV. Lucky GoldStar, the company that later became
LG. And as cool as this looked it was missing
the front panel and like pretty much all the other ones was RF-only. So yeah I don't need another color TV from
this era really. Although it was a dollar, still tempting. As far as the newer ones though, this was
the most tempting unit. It was also a dollar and I think it was a
32-inch. It's a Panasonic and it had RF, composite,
s-video, and component. I have a few Trinitrons that do this but you
know, this is a pretty good TV for someone. ["Jesus Christ it's Jason Bourne"] Ahh look
at these chairs! [chuckles in chair] Ah I don't know, these designs they make me
happy. Oh this pattern, it beckons me to live inside
of it. Over in the puzzles and board games, ran across
something that I recognized. And ah check it out: Men Are From Mars, Women
Are From Venus: The CD-ROM Game. Whatever. I don't really care about the game I just
wanted this package actually. It's a heart-shaped box for a computer game. And this one's still sealed, it comes with
the cardboard cutout to make it so it can stand up. The one I had was just loose, it didn't have
the standing parts so I'll take it. Checking out the keyboards and heheheh, well. This one stood out for obvious reasons. It's a pretty generic keyboard but somebody
bedazzled the crap out of it. Kind of impressive really. Ooh what is this? Check out this calculator: Sears C1, it's
so blue! Ah yes, I'm absolutely getting this if it's
any kind of working condition. Aw man. Seems the display is thoroughly screwed up. An absolute shame really. All right what do we got here. Some floppy disks and, huh. 800K Macintosh
floppy disks, looks like somebody's backup here. Usually these kind of personal files don't
make it out onto the sales floor so that's a bit unusual. All right, random electronics and what is
this face? It's a General Electric solid state FM/AM
radio. Solid state, not in great shape, but I like
the look of it and check this out. "Times Square Stores." I always like finding old retail stickers
on any kind of thing in thrift stores. And you know, go figure: with all those CRT
TVs this is the thing that grabs my attention the most. A pair of 9-inch monochrome SVGA displays. Both manufactured sometime in the mid-90s
and yeah these were point of sale systems. Or, attached to them, you know like cash registers. Neither of them appear to have any screen
burn-in so I just picked the one that kind of appealed to me the most and took it home,
we'll try it out. And one final Goodwill stop for this particular
episode. [mimics engine noise] Oh wha-ha-haw. You know those ugly chairs we saw earlier? This goes with them perfectly, check out these
lamp shades! Muah, that's just perfect retro tackiness. Got a crapload of incandescent light bulbs
brand new over here and what is this oversized pipe? Hehe, oh it's an ashtray. Okay so you could smoke a pipe, and empty
the pipe's ash into another pipe. Yo dawg, I heard you like pipes. Ooh hey is this one of those -- yeah kind
of. So this is a Samsung DVD/VHS player that does
HDMI. Now I have actually been looking for one of
these. Not this one in particular because the HDMI
output only works for the DVD player, not VHS or anything. And looking up online this is not a particularly
good model. There are a couple though, some of the last
ones made that are quite sought after. And rather useful if you're someone like me. Ooh hey, check it out: got a TI-83+ calculator,
anybody wanna play some calculator Doom? Goodness, got someone that offloaded their
entire Animorphs collection it appears. Oh these books and their covers. They were probably all done with that one
piece of morphing software, I actually have that, I should review it. Ooh we got another very full set of a series
of books here. The Young People's Science Encyclopedia. Fifties and sixties science books and encyclopedias,
I'm always attracted to them for whatever reason. It's the illustrations and outdated information,
just the particular way that they tell kids how things work. I dunno, brings back memories. Now this one's a new one on me, what is this. The Family Game Book? "Games for the whole family!" All right let's see what they got in here
1960-whatever this is. What kind of games are these?! Vacuuming, setting the table, doing dishes
and napkins -- all right I'm seeing what they're trying to do here. Check out this foosball table! It's wood. Wooden handles, wooden cabinet. I don't know, I like it. Always liked foosball, if I had the space
I might've gotten it. Ooh my organization sense are tingling, what
is this? Well it's not screws or bait or tools or anything
like I thought. It's actually just a bunch of thread. Yeah just a good selection of thread, organized
neatly. Oh I recognize this. This is a Micron microfilm or microfiche machine. Maybe one of the 780 series perhaps. I don't know, it's a bit older and rather
simple but you know: it's ten bucks, so I'm sure someone will want it. And then as I was about to leave I noticed
this box of goodies on the floor here and well. Turned out to be a Swan 1011 ham radio, or
you know, amateur radio transceiver. From 1970! Other than being incredibly dirty it looked
to be in really good shape. And it was $150 for everything in this container. Microphones, amplifiers, other transceivers
and CB radio things, a bunch of spare parts and cables and documentation. Yeah I'm gonna take this home. And that is it for Episode 40 of LGR Thrifts! Didn't get a whole lot today but eh you know
it's very LGR-type things. A game that I don't care about but I wanted
the packaging for, hehe, and this 9-inch mono SVGA monitor. Check it out, the monitor you plug it into
pretty much any PC really. Long as it has VGA or SVGA connection, there
you go. Can play some Secret of Monkey Island and
Doom and really whatever else you wanna do. Now everything that is red on-screen turns
black, so hehe, it's really dark. Reminds me of what certain gas plasma displays
used to do back in the 80s. But yeah this is really made for text and
it actually some incredibly sharp imagery. Now as for the Swan/Siltronix 1011 radio,
well. There is a lot to unpack and I am completely
unfamiliar with this kind of amateur radio, ham radio, all this kinda stuff. I've never messed with it even once. And plugging it in it doesn't seem to work. Not only that but it needs a crapload of cleaning. I mean this dust and grime and stuff is caked
into every bit of it inside and out. Looks like it was left in a barn for thirty
years, maybe it was. Kinda smells like it too, so. I don't know what I'm gonna do with this. But who knows! We'll see, I'll either clean it up and maybe
try to get it working or hand it off to somebody who can. Either way though, thank you very much for
watching this episode of Thrifts. And thank you for the continued support, asking
for new episodes. I do them whenever I can as always. And there is of course your own submissions
for Thrifts finds that you've submitted my way over the past couple months. So here those are! And as usual you found a bunch of cool things,
so look at all these things. And until next time, we'll uh, see you next
time. Thanks for watching!
I laughed way harder than I should have at the knockoff Millennium Falcon. Always love a new LGR Thrifts video!
