This weeks garage sale find... A Hafler DH-220 2 chanel amp with a dislodged power switch. Took it home pulled the cover fixed the switch (it had only popped out of its mount). Hooked it up to the Carver receiver in pre-amp mode flipped the switch and voila. A perfectly working fully functional great sounding vintage piece for.....drum roll please....$30.00. This garage sale thing is becoming an addiction.

    I once picked up a Carver M4.0T in perfect working condition and good physical condition for $50. I paid the dude $60 cuz I felt bad.

    Coat of black paint on the cover and 2 months later, sold for a nice amount on CL :)

    Garage sales are too hit and miss for me to get into. Too time consuming as well, but maybe I'll get more into it one day.
