presenting today's thrift store find:
Sony ES model. Weighs a TON.
I realize there have been some "getting rid of stuff" threads of late, and I'm of the same mind. but, when it comes to good audio, and bargains.. it's tough to be Zen!

$12

Wow, nice! I frequent my local stores for just such deals, and maybe a TAM in the box....

Cool! I love old audio stuff. Doesn't take up space in the yard like old cars, and cheaper too!

Holy crap. That might be one of the original models from '83. They went for $1,000+ when they were new...

it was made in 1989 according to the manufacture sticker on the back plate.

That faceplate and design is identical to the one I got in 1986, except no faux wood - all black. Awful sound quality - treble is quite harsh.

A modern external DAC would be a must here.

Circa 1986 sounds about right for this.
