Okay, inspired by Daktari's amazing dumpster find, a fun new thread: What's are your best gear finds?
This includes but is not limited to Goodwill, Salvation Army, garage or yard sales, dumpsters, curbside grabs, etc. Although not as gloriously Guild as Daktari's, here are mine.
-- Leslie 910 speaker cabinet -- found in alley behind my house, worked perfectly -- FREE
-- 1981 Reissue Ludwig Black Beauty snare, fully engraved, blue/green badge -- moving sale$ -- $25
-- Optigan -- from my dad via my uncle via his brother who was gonna junk it, came with about 20 discs, fully working and FREE
-- Stereo gear -- classic Marantz late 70s pre- and power amp -- saved from dumpster -- FREE
Most envious moment: A buddy of mine came back from a flea market with two pristine 1960s Gibson ES-175s -- $250 for BOTH of them!
