Wish I could find Amiga stuff on the side of the road! But I can't complain as this year netted me a real nice vintage 19" Quasar tele with remote control, a 13" in brand new shape and an Atwater Kent floor standing radio from the 20's in excellent shape. Quite a few years back, someone had their vintage IBM PC with keyboard (you know, the ones built like a tank that "click") laying on the ground, next to their garbage. A friend and I happened to be walking about town, went to grab a bite to eat so snagged this for the walk home. Needless to say, that old computer stuff is HEAVY!  lol

Ah, well nothing Amiga-related, but:
my 'favorite' is a FM/Cassette/turntable console with a built-in cheesy light show... (can you say '1970's' ??? lol)


LOL!  I was at Marc's place a couple of weeks ago and saw that beauty. Funny thing is... I had the same exact model when I was young!! lmao  

Marc... forgot to ask: do both sides of the lighting work? Pretty neat lightshow. There's supposed to be different colored bulbs in case yours does not. That little stereo did sound good and I even upgraded mine with better speakers back in the day. Sadly, I remember somehow the lighting grate got broken on mine and who knows where it's at today  :(

I'd like to get an Atari Video Music machine someday if anyone happens to have one they'd be willing to part with..
